Malcolm C. Souness, Claimant-appellant, v. Jesse Brown, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Respondent-appellee, 1 F.3d 1253 (Fed. Cir. 1993)
Annotate this CaseBefore LOURIE, Circuit Judge, FRIEDMAN, Senior Circuit Judge, and CLEVENGER, Circuit Judge.
ON MOTION
ORDER
CLEVENGER, Circuit Judge.
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs moves to waive Fed. Cir. R. 27(d) and to dismiss Malcolm C. Souness' appeal. Souness has not filed a response.
Souness seeks review of an order of the Court of Veterans Appeals dismissing his appeal as untimely. The Court of Veterans Appeals determined that Souness failed to demonstrate that his notice of appeal was filed within 120 days after the date of mailing of notice of the Board decision. Souness challenges only factual determinations or the application of a law or regulation to his claim. No issue is raised that falls within the limited jurisdiction of this court under 38 U.S.C. §§ 7292(c), (d) (1)-(2) (Supp. III 1991). See Livingston v. Derwinski, 959 F.2d 224 (Fed. Cir. 1992).
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The Secretary's motion to waive Fed. Cir. R. 27(d) is granted.
(2) The Secretary's motion to dismiss is granted.
(3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
