Willard VAN HOOSE, Claimant-Appellant,
v.
Jesse BROWN, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Respondent-Appellee.

No. 93-7077.

United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.

Aug. 10, 1993.

Before LOURIE, Circuit Judge, BENNETT, Senior Circuit Judge, and RADER, Circuit Judge.

ON MOTION

LOURIE, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

1

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs moves to waive Fed.Cir.R. 27(e) and to dismiss Willard Van Hoose's appeal. Van Hoose has not filed a response.

2

Van Hoose seeks review of an order of the Court of Veterans Appeals affirming the Board of Veterans Appeals decision denying Van Hoose entitlement to a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability. Van Hoose challenges only factual determinations or the application of a law or regulation to his claim, or raises a legal question that does not contest the validity of a statute or a regulation, or the interpretation of a constitutional or statutory provision or a regulation. No issue is raised that falls within the limited jurisdiction of this court under 38 U.S.C. Secs. 7292(c), (d)(1)-(2) (Supp. III 1991). See Livingston v. Derwinski, 959 F.2d 224 (Fed.Cir.1992).

3

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

4

(1) The Secretary's motion to waive Fed.Cir.R. 27(e) is granted.

5

(2) The Secretary's motion to dismiss is granted.

6

(3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
