United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Michael J. GIRO, Petitioner, v. U.S. RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD, Respondent.

No. 18-1991

Decided: February 13, 2020

Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judge, and SHEDD, Senior Circuit Judge.

Michael J. Giro, Petitioner Pro Se. Patrick Sullivan Polk, Office of General Counsel, U.S. RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD, Chicago, Illinois, for Respondent.

Michael J. Giro seeks review of the Railroad Retirement Board’s decision affirming the hearings officer’s determination that March 1, 2013, is the beginning date of Giro’s disability annuity under the Railroad Retirement Act, 45 U.S.C. §§ 231-231v (2018). Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without reversible error. Accordingly, we deny the petition for review for the reasons stated by the Board. Appeal of Michael J. Giro, No. 15-AP-0066 (R.R.B. Sept. 12, 2017). 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.
