                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Western District of Texas
                              USDC No. 1:21-CV-600
                    ______________________________

   Before Jones, Smith, and Ho, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          Having carefully considered this appeal in light of the parties’ briefs,
   the magistrate judge and district court decisions, and pertinent portions of
   the record, we find no reversible error of fact or law.

          _____________________
          *
              Pursuant to 5th Circuit Rule 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   should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set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 Circuit Rule 47.5.4.
Case: 23-50109     Document: 00516863075          Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/18/2023

                                   No. 23-50109

          The district court correctly dismissed Appellant’s case for failure to
   exhaust his administrative remedies in his dispute over alleged overpayments
   of Social Security benefits. He did not exhaust following the Social Security
   Administration’s Notice of Reconsideration in November 2021 by timely
   requesting a hearing. 20 C.F.R. § 404.921; see also 42 U.S.C. § 405(g)
   (limiting judicial review to a “final decision of the Commissioner of Social
   Security made after a hearing”). His additional issues, to the extent we can
   discern them, are meritless.
   AFFIRMED.

                                        2
