KENNETH S. APFEL, Commissioner of Social Security,

Defendant-Appellee.

-------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana USDC No. 99-CV-553 -------------------- March 28, 2000

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Lovelace Broussard (“Broussard”) appeals the district

court’s decision to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction his

complaint seeking judicial review of his most recent application

for disability benefits. The district court did not err in

concluding that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over the

complaint. See Califano v. Sanders,

(1977);

Hensley v. Califano,

(5th Cir. 1979). It also

did not err in concluding that it lacked mandamus jurisdiction

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. No. 99-30842 -2-

over the complaint. See Green v. Heckler,

(5th

Cir. 1984).

AFFIRMED.
