3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“.. .we hold that the district court properly dismissed the action for lack of jurisdiction to review the Secretary’s denial of the claim ... We conclude that on the record before the district court, and without need for recourse to the full administrative record, it appeared as a matter of law that (1) the successive claims were the same claim for res judicata purposes and (2) the original claim was not administratively reopened by considering it on the merits.”
