¶1 Reverend Preston Scarbrough and Carolyn Scarbrough Smith, mother of Thomas J. Smith, Jr., a minor, appeal, on behalf of the minor, the dismissal of Scarbrough’s petition seeking review of the denial of Supplemental Security Income benefits. See 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). The suit filed by Rev. Scarbrough did not toll the limitations period, because he lacked the capacity to represent the plaintiff. 42 U.S.C. § 405(g); 20 C.F.R. § 416.1481; 28 U.S.C. § 1654; Fed.R.Civ.P. 11(a), 17(c); Gonzales v. Wyatt, 157 F.3d 1016, 1021-22 (5th Cir.1998). Because the time for filing suit has expired, appellants cannot prevail. See § 405(g); § 416.1481; Gonzales, 157 F.3d at 1021-22.
¶2 AFFIRMED.
