                              Before

                     Torruella, Chief Judge,

     Monroe A. Laremore on brief pro se.
     Donald K. Stern, United States Attorney and Michael J.
Pineault, Assistant U.S. Attorney on brief for appellee.

November 5, 1998

                                
                                

            Per Curiam.  Appellant Monroe A. Laremore filed a
    complaint in the Massachusetts federal district court seeking
    review of the decision of appellee Commissioner of Social
    Security that appellant was not entitled to Social Security
    disability benefits.  The district court granted the
    Commissioner's motion to dismiss on the ground that appellant
    had not exhausted his administrative remedies.  Specifically,
    appellant had failed to request a hearing before an
    administrative law judge.  Because appellant does not dispute
    this and because his case does not come within any exceptions
    to the exhaustion requirement, the district court lacked
    subject matter jurisdiction and properly dismissed the
    complaint.  See generally Doyle v. Secretary of Health and
    Human Services, 848 F.2d 296 (1st Cir. 1988); Wilson v.
    Secretary of Health and Human Services, 671 F.2d 673 (1st Cir.
    1982).
              The judgment of the district court is summarilyaffirmed.  See Local Rule 27.1.  All pending motions are deniedas moot.
