2 DEFLANDERS v. MCDONOUGH

Mr. DeFlanders filed a document construed as a notice of appeal from two proceedings before the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims: No. 23-9002A and No. 21-2124. As for the former, relating to a complaint of judicial misconduct before that court, we lack jurisdiction.

See 38 U.S.C. § 7253; 28 U.S.C. § 357(c) (“[A]ll orders and determinations, including denials of petitions for review, shall be final and conclusive and shall not be judicially re- viewable on appeal or otherwise.”).

As for the latter, judgment was entered on March 14, 2024, and the court does not appear to have re- ceived Mr. DeFlanders’s notice of appeal until July 30, 2024 (Mr. DeFlanders has not identified any ear- lier notice of appeal from that proceeding). To be timely, a notice of appeal must ordinarily be received within 60 days of entry of that court’s judgment. Because Mr. DeFlan- ders’s appeal is untimely, we lack jurisdiction and there- fore must dismiss. See 38 U.S.C. § 7292(a); 28 U.S.C. § 2107(b); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(B); Fed. Cir. R. 1(a)(1)(D); Wagner v. Shinseki, 733 F.3d 1343, 1348 (Fed. Cir. 2013); see also Henderson v. Shinseki, 562 U.S. 428, 438–39 (2011).

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. (2) All pending motions are denied.
