Description
This case raises the question of the effect of Congress's recent amendment of the jurisdictional statute under which we review decisions of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The case arose when Douglas B. Morgan sought review of the March 14, 2002 decision of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, which decision affirmed a September 28, 1999 decision of the Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA). The BVA found that a Department of Veterans Affairs regional office (VARO) had properly denied Mr. Morgan's request for an extension of time in which to file a substantive appeal, and that his substantive appeal was not timely filed. The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims affirmed. On appeal to this court, Mr. Morgan for the first time raises the question of whether equitable tolling is available under the applicable limitations statute.
