2                                  LINCOLN   v. SHINSEKI



Lincoln timely appealed to the United States Court of
Appeals for Veterans Claims (Veterans Court), which
affirmed the Board’s decision.
     On September 27, 2013, the Veterans Court entered
its judgment in Lincoln’s case. Lincoln’s notice of appeal
to this court was received on December 2, 2013, 66 days
after the date of judgment. 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); 28
U.S.C. § 2107(b); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1).
      Accordingly,
      IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) Lincoln is directed to show cause, within 30 days
of the date of this order why this appeal should not be
dismissed. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs may also
respond within that time.
      (2) The briefing schedule is stayed.
