In Re Price S. Russell
Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided September 16, 1998No. 98-2428PublishedCited by 25 opinions
1Per curiam
Price S. Russell petitions the court for mandamus relief directing the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA) and the United States Court of Veterans Appeals (CVA) to rule on the issues in his claim. In response the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) seeks dismissal of the petition for lack of jurisdiction, arguing that jurisdiction over the claim lies exclusively with the CVA and the Federal Circuit. We agree with the government and dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction.
