Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Ronnie T. Shelton filed a complaint in the district court seeking review of the Appeals Council’s decision dismissing a subsequent application for disability insurance benefits on res judicata grounds. Shelton now appeals the district court’s order dismissing

his complaint without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction and the order denying his Fed. R. Civ. P. 59(e) motion. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Shelton v. Berryhill, No. 5:15-cv-00027-MFU-JCH (W.D. Va. Sept. 13, 2016 & Nov. 23, 2016). 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.

AFFIRMED
