2 GARCIA v. MCDONOUGH

2022. In March 2023, the Veterans Court received Ms. Garcia’s notice of appeal. * To be timely, a notice of appeal must be received by the Veterans Court within 60 days of the entry of judgment.

See 38 U.S.C. § 7292(a); see also 28 U.S.C. § 2107(b); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B). Like appeals from district courts, the statutorily prescribed time for filing appeals from the Vet- erans Court to this court is mandatory and jurisdictional, meaning that we cannot take account of individual circum- stances for the untimely filing. See Wagner v. Shinseki, 733 F.3d 1343, 1348 (Fed. Cir. 2013); see also Henderson v. Shinseki, 562 U.S. 428, 438–39 (2011) (indicating jurisdic- tional restrictions on the time for taking an appeal under section 7292(a)). Because Ms. Garcia’s notice of appeal was not filed within 60 days of any final judgment or order of the Veterans Court, we must dismiss the appeal.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed. (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
