Summary Calendar.
United States Court of Appeals,
Fifth Circuit.
Jan. 24, 1979.
Jacob A. Rose, Florida Rural Legal Services, Inc., Belle Glade, Fla., for plaintiff-appellant.
Jack V. Eskenazi, U.S. Atty., Don R. Boswell, Asst. U.S. Atty., Miami, Fla., for defendant-appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
Before BROWN, Chief Judge, COLEMAN and VANCE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
1
Appellant filed a request for judicial review of a final decision of the Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. On the federal magistrate's recommendation, the District Judge dismissed the complaint, finding that appellant's having filed outside the sixty day statutory time period deprived the Court of jurisdiction. It appearing that the District Court failed to consider contrary authority in Weinberger v. Salfi, 1975, 422 U.S. 749, 764, 95 S. Ct. 2457, 2466, 45 L. Ed. 2d 522, 538, and Mathews v. Eldridge, 1976, 424 U.S. 319, 328 n. 9, 96 S. Ct. 893, 899, 47 L. Ed. 2d 18, 29 n. 9, we reverse the judgment of dismissal and remand the cause for a consideration of the merits.
