Wallace E. HENSLEY, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Joseph A. CALIFANO, Jr., Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, Defendant-Appellee.
    No. 79-1270
    Summary Calendar.
    
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Aug. 23, 1979.
    Thomas F. Condon, Pensacola, Fla., for plaintiff-appellant.
    Emory O. Williams, Jr., Asst. U. S. Atty., Pensacola, Fla., Alan M. Grochal, Baltimore, Md., for defendant-appellee.
    Before CLARK, GEE and HILL, Circuit Judges.
    
      
      Rule 18, 5 Cir.; see Isbell Enterprises, Inc. v. Citizens Casualty Co. of New York et al, 5 Cir., 1970, 431 F.2d 409, Part I.
    
   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.
