United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims

1Opinion of the Court
STEINBERG, Judge:
Before the Court in this appeal is a jurisdictional issue of the timeliness of the appellant’s Notice of Appeal (NOA). The Court’s determination of this issue turns on whether the circumstances of this case support the application of equitable tolling, within the meaning of Bailey v. West, 160 F.3d 1360 (Fed.Cir.1998) (en banc), to the 38 U.S.C. § 7266(a) 120-day period for the filing of an NOA in this Court. Because the Court will hold that the situation here does not support the application of equitable tolling, we will dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
