ON MOTION

ORDER

The court construes R. Wayne Johnson’s submission entitled “Petition for a Writ of Mandamus” as a motion seeking relief on the merits of his appeal and appointment of counsel.

Mr. Johnson’s arguments concerning the merits of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims’ denial of his writ of mandamus belong in his informal brief and not in a motion.

Upon consideration thereof,

*928It Is Ordered That:

The motion is denied.
