U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Wallace E. Hensley v. Joseph A. Califano, Jr., Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, 601 F.2d 216 (5th Cir. 1979)
1979 U.S. App. LEXIS 12276
Wallace E. Hensley v. Joseph A. Califano, Jr., Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare
Opinion
This is an attempted appeal from administrative denial of a Social Security disability claim on grounds of res judicata. The Secretary also refused to reopen earlier claims. Such refusals to reopen and determinations that a claim is res judicata are not reviewable. Matos v. Secretary of H.E.W., 581 F.2d 282 (1st Cir. 1978). The court below correctly dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
AFFIRMED.
