United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
2007-7031
CHARLES E. BLACKWELL,
Claimant-Appellant,
v.
R. JAMES NICHOLSON,
Secretary of Veterans Affairs,
Respondent-Appellee.
ON MOTION
Before RADER, Circuit Judge.
ORDER
Charles E. Blackwell moves without opposition to stay proceedings in this appeal
pending the court’s disposition of Harms v. Nicholson, 2007-7005.
Blackwell asserts that both this case and Harms involve the issue of whether an
appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims from a denial of a
motion to vacate is timely if filed within 120 days of the date of the decision denying the
motion.
We conclude that a stay is warranted and authorize the clerk of the court to grant
similar unopposed motions.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The motion to stay is granted. Blackwell is directed to inform this court
within 14 days of the court’s disposition of Harms how he believes this appeal should
proceed. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs may also respond within that time.
(2) A copy of this order shall be transmitted to the merits panel assigned to
hear Harms.
(3) The clerk of the court is authorized to grant similar unopposed motions in
the future.
