Upon consideration thereof,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

(2) The Supreme Court of the United States vacated this court’s judgment and directed us to remand the case to the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Accordingly, we hereby remand the case to the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims so that it may determine whether reconsideration of its decision is necessary in light of the Supreme Court’s opinion.
