Appeal from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in 05-1268, Judge
William A. Moorman.
                          ___________________________

                              DECIDED: January 12, 2009
                            ___________________________

Before NEWMAN and MOORE, Circuit Judges, and GETTLEMAN, District Judge ∗

PER CURIAM.

       Rose P. Rolling appeals the decision of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims

(“Veterans Court”) affirming the denial by the Board of Veterans’ Appeals of her claim for

service connection for her deceased husband’s pancreatic cancer. Rolling v. Nicholson,

No. 05-1268, 2007 WL 4967080 (Vet. App. Aug. 29, 2007). Mrs. Rolling argues that the

Veterans Court either erred in interpreting the law, or abused its discretion, in failing to


       ∗         Honorable Robert W. Gettleman, United States District Court for the Northern
District of Illinois, sitting by designation.
require that the Secretary of Veterans Affairs fully comply with an earlier remand order

issued by the Board requiring further development of her case. The Veterans Court had

concluded that the Secretary, acting through a medical examiner, had substantially

complied with the remand order. Id. at *6. We have carefully considered Mrs. Rolling’s

arguments and conclude that her appeal essentially seeks our review of a factual matter.

The adequacy of the VA’s compliance with a Board remand order for further medical

examination is a factual matter and outside our statutory jurisdiction as provided by 38

U.S.C. §7292(a), (d)(2). Dyment v. Principi, 287 F.3d 1377, 1381 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (finding

no jurisdiction to address claimant’s argument that a VA medical specialist failed to comply

with a Board remand order because the argument constituted a challenge to the Veterans

Court’s decision on factual matter). 1

       The appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.




       1
                While this court’s Dyment decision preceded an amendment to the
jurisdictional statute 38 U.S.C. §7292(a) enacted December 6, 2002, see Veterans Benefits
Act of 2002, Pub. L. No. 107-330, tit. IV, §402(a), 116 Stat. 2832, that amendment did not
alter the exclusion of factual matters from this court’s review.
