Late yesterday, the Federal Circuit issued a nonprecedential order dismissing an appeal from the Court of International Trade. This morning, the Federal Circuit released two nonprecedential orders. The first dismisses an appeal from the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, while the second transfers a case appealed from the Merit Systems Protection Board to the District of Maryland. Here is the introduction to the order dismissing the appeal from the the Board of Veterans’ Appeals and links to the transfer and dismissal.
Yoon v. Collins (Nonprecedential Order)
In January 2025, Paul H. Yoon and Elizabeth F. Yoon petitioned the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims for a writ of mandamus to enjoin the Secretary of Veterans Affairs from denying their claim for educational benefits pending before the Board of Veterans’ Appeals. Though the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims has not yet issued a decision on that petition, the petitioners have filed an appeal, and the Yoons move for emergency relief. The Secretary opposes and moves to dismiss the appeal.
