ON MOTION

ORDER

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs responds to the court’s November 20, 2007 order and requests that the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) in Hall v. Nicholson, 03-1684 be summarily affirmed. Monina D. Hall also moves for summary affirmance.

This case was stayed pending the court’s disposition in Sanders v. Nicholson, 487 F.3d 881 (Fed.Cir. 2007) and its companion case Simmons v. Nicholson, 487 F.3d 892 (Fed.Cir. 2007). In Sanders, this court held that any 38 U.S.C. § 5103(a) error should be presumed prejudicial and the Secretary has the burden of rebutting this presumption. Id. at 891.

*886The Secretary concedes that the only issue raised in this appeal is identical to the issue decided in Sanders and Simmons. Under these circumstances, summary affirmance is appropriate.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(1) The judgment of the CAVC is summarily affirmed. The case is remanded for further proceedings.

(2) All other motions are deemed moot.

(3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
