Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of California Eugene F. Lynch, District Judge, Presiding Submitted February 13, 1998… San Francisco, California.
Before HUG, Chief Judge, FERNANDEZ and THOMAS, Circuit Judges.
Peter Basso appeals the district court's dismissal of his appeal from the Social Security Administration for lack of jurisdiction. We review a dismissal for lack of subject matter jurisdiction de novo. Evans v. Chater, 110 F.3d 1480, 1481 (9th Cir.1997).
The district court correctly concluded that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction. Basso failed to exhaust his administrative remedies pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 405(g). He also failed to allege a "colorable" constitutional claim, and thus does not come within the exception to § 405(g). See Hoye v. Sullivan, 985 F.2d 990, 991 (9th Cir.1992). Thus, we affirm the district court's dismissal of this case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
AFFIRMED
