                   Appeal from the United States District Court for
                            the Western District of Texas
                              (USDC No. 7:03-CV-142)
           _______________________________________________________

Before REAVLEY, JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

       The district court correctly dismissed Taylor’s appeal of the Department of

Labor’s disability determination because such a determination is not subject to judicial

review. 5 U.S.C. § 8128(b)(2); see Concordia v. U.S.P.S., 581 F.2d 439, 443 (5th Cir.

       *
        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 R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
1978). Taylor has failed to show that the Department of Labor violated a clear statutory

mandate and she raises no constitutional claim not suitable for determination in an

administrative setting. See Woodruff v. United States, 954 F.2d 634, 639 (11th Cir.

1992). Taylor is also prohibited from alleging disability discrimination in violation of the

Rehabilitation Act in order to secure judicial review of the Department of Labour’s

determination. See Meester v. Runyon, 149 F.3d 855, 857 (8th Cir. 1998). AFFIRMED.

                                             2
