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.

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.
