Opinions

This morning the Federal Circuit released one precedential opinion, two nonprecedential orders, and two Rule 36 judgments. The precedential opinion affirms a decision of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. Both of the nonprecedential orders are dismissals. Here is the introduction to the opinion and links to the orders and Rule 36 judgments.

Love v. McDonough (Precedential)

Appellant Charles J. Love, Jr. appeals a decision from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims holding that the procedural protections set out in 38 C.F.R. § 3.344 do not apply to disabilities rated under diagnostic code 7528 for service-connected prostate cancer. Because we agree with the Veterans Court that the diagnostic code provides specific procedures that the agency must follow upon cessation of cancer treatment, the general provisions of § 3.344 do not apply.
