996 F.2d 1236

John S. WILSON, Claimant-Appellant,
v.
Edward J. DERWINSKI, Secretary of Veterans Affairs,
Respondent-Appellee.

No. 92-7089.

United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.

May 18, 1993.

NOTICE: Federal Circuit Local Rule 47.8(b) states that opinions and orders which are designated as not citable as precedent shall not be employed or cited as precedent. This does not preclude assertion of issues of claim preclusion, issue preclusion, judicial estoppel, law of the case or the like based on a decision of the Court rendered in a nonprecedential opinion or order.

Before RICH, ARCHER and MAYER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

1

John S. Wilson appeals from a judgment of the United States Court of Veterans Appeals affirming the Board of Veterans Appeals which denied his claim for service connection based on alleged psychiatric disorders. Wilson v. Derwinski, No. 91-169 (August 10, 1992). On appeal, Wilson challenges only factual determinations or the application of a law or regulation to his claim, or raises a legal question that does not contest the validity of a statute or a regulation, or the interpretation of a constitutional or statutory provision or a regulation. Thus, no issue is raised which falls within the jurisdiction of this court under 38 U.S.C. §§ 7292(c), (d)(1)-(2). Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. See Livingston v. Derwinski, 959 F.2d 224 (Fed.Cir.1992).
