U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided August 23, 1979 · Clark, Gee, Hill, Per Curiam
601 F.2d 216; 1979 U.S. App. LEXIS 12276 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Wallace E. Hensley v. Joseph A. Califano, Jr., Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

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.
