Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
KENNETH S. APFEL,
Commissioner of Social Security,
Defendant-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Louisiana
USDC No. 99-CV-553
--------------------
March 28, 2000
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DeMOSS, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Lovelace Broussard (“Broussard”) appeals the district
court’s decision to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction his
complaint seeking judicial review of his most recent application
for disability benefits. The district court did not err in
concluding that it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction over the
complaint. See Califano v. Sanders, 430 U.S. 99, 108 (1977);
Hensley v. Califano, 601 F.2d 216, 216 (5th Cir. 1979). It also
did not err in concluding that it lacked mandamus jurisdiction
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 99-30842

over the complaint. See Green v. Heckler, 742 F.2d 237, 241 (5th
Cir. 1984).
AFFIRMED.
