Per Curiam. We affirm the dismissal of

appellant's pro se complaint substantially for the reasons
___ __

stated in the district court's memorandum and order of April

26, 1993. Appellant's claims against the Secretary of Health

and Human Services are time-barred under 42 U.S.C. 405(g)

and the applicable regulations. 20 C.F.R. 416.1455,

.1481. See also 416.1405, .1421. There is no indication

that the Secretary found that good reasons exist to allow an

See 416.1482, .1411. Otherwise, the complaint suggests no

cognizable federal cause of action.

Affirmed.
