Dvareckas V. Sec'y HHS

Date:

Absent a colorable constitutional claim not present here, a district court does not have jurisdiction to review the Secretary's discretionary decision not to reopen an earlier adjudication. Appeal barred by res judicata where, even though claimant's second application was not identical to the first and additional medical reports were submitted, the claim for disability in both cases was based on essentially the same condition.
