1Opinion of the Court
RADER, Circuit Judge.
The United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims dismissed the appeal of Alfred P. Santoro for lack of jurisdiction because Mr. Santoro used an incorrect zip code. The Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims determined that Mr. Santoro improperly addressed his notice of appeal, making his submission ineligible for the postmark rule of 38 U.S.C. § 7266(a)(3)(b) (West Supp.2000). Because Mr. Santoro’s notice of appeal was “properly addressed” within the meaning of 38 U.S.C. § 7266(a)(3)(b), this court reverses.
