GLASSCOCK v. CONSOLIDATED COAL COMPANY (2019)

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Dorothy P. GLASSCOCK, Widow of Merle D. Glasscock, Petitioner, v. CONSOLIDATED COAL COMPANY; Consol Energy, Incorporated; Director, Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, United States Department of Labor, Respondents.

No. 18-1918

Decided: April 03, 2019

Before WILKINSON and RICHARDSON, Circuit Judges, and TRAXLER, Senior Circuit Judge.

Dorothy P. Glasscock, Petitioner Pro Se. Joseph Daniel Halbert, SHELTON, HELTON, BRANHAM & HALBERT, PLLC, Lexington, Kentucky; Sean Gregory Bajkowski, Sarah Marie Hurley, Gary K. Stearman, Office of the Solicitor - Black Lung Division, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Washington, D.C., for Respondents.

Dorothy P. Glasscock seeks review of the Benefits Review Board’s decision and order affirming the administrative law judge’s denial of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C. §§ 901-945 (2012). Glasscock’s informal brief identifies no reversible error in the Board’s decision. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we deny the petition for review. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED

PER CURIAM:
