Digby v. Peake
Digby v. Peake
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
The Secretary of Veterans Affair's responds to the court’s November 21, 2007 order and requests that the court summarily affirm the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in Digby v. Nicholson, 04-0967, 2006 WL 2348534 (Aug. 3, 2006). W.D. Digby has not responded.
The Secretary appealed the judgment of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, challenging that court’s ruling that the Secretary had the burden of establishing that a 38 U.S.C. § 5103(a) notification error was not prejudicial. In Sanders v. Nicholson, 487 F.3d 881 (Fed.Cir. 2007), this court held that any section 5103(a)
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The judgment of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims is summarily affirmed. The case is remanded.
(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
