Fred J. UNDERWOOD, Claimant-Appellant,
v.
Jesse BROWN, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Respondent-Appellee.
No. 93-7024.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
June 15, 1993.
Before 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 Fred J. Underwood's appeal. Underwood opposes.
Underwood seeks review of an order of the United States Court of Veterans Appeals affirming the Board of Veterans Appeals decision denying his reopened claim for an earlier effective date for his award of nonservice-connected benefits. Underwood challenges only factual determinations or the application of laws or regulations to his claim. No issue is raised that falls within the limited jurisdiction of this court under 38 U.S.C. Secs. 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.
