ARCHER, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

In his informal brief, 1 the Secretary of Veterans Affairs moves to dismiss the appeal of Oscar Johnson on the ground that Johnson is challenging factual determinations that we may not review.

On May 4, 1990, the Board of Veterans Appeals denied Johnson’s entitlement to “service connection” for a lower back disorder and stomach disorder and denied entitlement to an increased evaluation for a head injury, currently evaluated as a ten percent disability. On March 8, 1991, the Court of Veterans Appeals, 1 Vet.App. 389, summarily affirmed the Board’s decision.
