PER CURIAM.
The Social Security Administration denied Deborah Martin’s application for
supplemental security income on August 1, 2001, and informed her that she had sixty

untimely. Martin sought judicial review, and the district court2 dismissed her
complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. After de novo review, see United
States v. Dico, Inc., 136 F.3d 572, 575 (8th Cir. 1998), we agree with the district court
that jurisdiction under 42 U.S.C. § 405(g) was lacking and that dismissal was
appropriate. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
