DECIDED: April 20, 2007

Before NEWMAN, MAYER, and LINN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Cathleen E. Golden appeals the final judgment of the United States Court of
Appeals for Veterans Claims, which dismissed her appeal from the Board of Veterans’
Appeals for lack of jurisdiction based on the failure to timely file a notice of appeal.
Golden v. Principi, No. 04-1385 (Vet. App. Mar. 16, 2005). In so doing, the court
rejected her equitable tolling argument. We vacate the court’s judgment and remand
the case for reconsideration in light of Barrett v. Nicholson, 466 F.3d 1038 (Fed. Cir.
2006).
