1Opinion of the Court
LOURIE, Circuit Judge.
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs (“Secretary”) appeals from the September 3, 1993 decision of the United States Court of Veterans Appeals directing the Secretary to pay Bruce Tyler Wick the attorney fee specified in a fee agreement between Wick and his client. In re Wick, No. 91-1412 (reported as In re Smith, 4 Vet.App. 487), reh’g en banc denied, 5 Vet.App. 307 (1993). Because the court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over Wick’s motion to compel payment, we vacate and remand for entry of dismissal.
