Robert Sexton v. F. David Mathews, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Decided June 10, 1976No. 76-1126PublishedCited by 10 opinions
1Per curiam
Robert Sexton, concededly suffering from pneumoconiosis, appeals from a judgment of the district court that he is not entitled to the black lung benefits provided by the 1972 Amendments to the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act. ** The Secretary found, and the district court agreed, that the Act did not afford coverage to a person engaged in manufacturing coke, even though his job exposed him to coal dust and his employer was a mining company. We affirm on this aspect of Sexton’s claim but remand the case for further proceedings concerning other work Sexton did.
