    Before RADER, Chief Judge, LOURIE, and PROST, Circuit
                          Judges.
RADER, Chief Judge.
    The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims af-
firmed the Board of Veterans’ Appeals’ determination that
Michael P. Edwards’ October 17, 2007 purported Notice of
Disagreement was invalid under pertinent VA regula-
tions. Because Mr. Edwards seeks review of issues of fact
and the application of law to fact beyond this court’s
statutory jurisdiction, 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2), this court
dismisses the appeal.
                       DISMISSED
