No. 93-7063.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
July 30, 1993.

Before RICH, Circuit Judge, COWEN, Senior Circuit Judge, and SCHALL, Circuit Judge.
ON MOTION
RICH, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

1
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs moves to waive the requirements of Fed.Cir.R. 27(e) and to dismiss Claude Sykes's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  Sykes has not filed a response.


2
Sykes seeks review of a decision of the United States Court of Veterans Appeals summarily affirming the Board of Veterans Appeals' decision that held that the character of Sykes's discharge from military service constituted a bar to his receiving Veterans Administration benefits.  Sykes 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 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 the requirements of Fed.Cir.R. 27(d) is granted.


5
(2) The Secretary's motion to dismiss is granted.


6
(3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
