Description
Per Curiam: This appeal arises from a final decision of the Honorable James Churchill of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, Northern Division, denying appellant's application for disability insurance benefits under the Social Security Act. Appellant, Edward Siterlet, first filed an application for social security disability benefits on April 30, 1980, which was denied initially, upon reconsideration, and by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) after a hearing on January 16, 1982. Appellant's request for review with the Appeals Council was denied on June 10, 1982, and he failed to pursue his right to judicial review, rendering the Secretary's decision final. On October 12, 1982, appellant filed the present application, alleging a disability onset date of December 1978. However, appellant does appear to challenge his initial determination of non-disability, and the ALJ specifically found that since that prior decision involved the same parties, facts and issues for the period through January 17, 1982, that prior finding was res judicata through the date. Therefore, appellant's current claim is confined to establishing disability between the dates of January 17, 1982 and March 31, 1983, the date his insured status expired. Since we find substantial evidence to support the Secretary's decision that appellant is not disabled, the district court decision is affirmed.
