Tanner v. Peake
Opinion of the Court
ON MOTION
ORDER
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs moves to waive the requirements of Fed. Cir. R. 27(f) and to dismiss Verlon G. Tanner’s appeal of the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in Tanner v. Peake, No. 06-2312 (May 19, 2008). Tanner responds.
The Board of Veterans’ Appeals denied Tanner’s claim for service connection for a lower left leg extremity disability. The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims affirmed the Board’s decision and Tanner appealed.
The court’s jurisdiction to review decisions of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims is limited. See Forshey v. Principi, 284 F.3d 1335, 1338 (Fed.Cir. 2002) (en banc). Except to the extent that an appeal raises a constitutional issue, this court “may not review (A) a challenge to a factual determination, or (B) a challenge to a law or regulation as applied to the facts of a particular case.” 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2).
In his informal brief, Tanner indicates that the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims’ decision involved the validity or interpretation of a statute or regulation.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The Secretary’s motion to waive the requirements of Fed. Cir. R. 27(f) is granted.
(2) The Secretary’s motion to dismiss is granted.
(3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
In his informal brief, Tanner states that he is "not sure if part of [his 38 U.S.C. § ] 1151
