SHINSEKI, SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, Respondent-Appellee. ______________________ 2012-7170 ______________________ Appeal from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in case no. 10-1314, Judge Ronald M. Holdaway. ORDER The United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“Veterans Court”) received Frank Moreno, Jr.’s notice of appeal on August 6, 2012. Judgment was en- tered by the Veterans Court on April 24, 2012. As such, a total of 104 days had elapsed between judgment and receipt of the appeal. Section 7292(a), Title 38, United States Code requires that a notice of appeal of the decision of the Veterans Court be filed within 60 days after that court’s entry of judgment or order. Thus, it appears that this appeal is untimely and must be dismissed. Case: 12-7170 Document: 17 Page: 2 Filed: 02/11/2013 2 FRANK MORENO, JR. v. SHINSEKI IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) Mr. Moreno is directed to show cause, within 30 days of the date of filing of this order, as to why his ap- peal should not be dismissed as untimely.
