1Opinion of the Court
BLACK, Judge.
The Secretary of Health and Human Services (“the Secretary”) appeals from the decision of the United States Court of Federal Claims which sustained a compensation decision by the Special Master issued pursuant to the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-l to -34 (“the Act”). Based on the Secretary’s failure to appeal the earlier remand by the Court of Federal Claims or to reopen the case on the entitlement issue on the basis of newly discovered evidence, the law of the case doctrine counsels affir-mance.
