¶1ON MOTION
¶2ORDER
¶3Lisa M. Zeugner-Maynard and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs jointly respond to the court’s December 4, 2007 order and move to vacate the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in Zeugner-Maynard v. Principi, 01-1738, 2004 WL 1576399 (June 21, 2004) and remand for further proceedings.
¶4This case was stayed pending the court’s disposition in Roan v. Principi, 2004-7093, which was stayed pending the court’s disposition in Sanders v. Nicholson, 487 F.3d 881 (Fed.Cir.2007), and its companion case Simmons v. Nicholson, 487 F.3d 892 (Fed. Cir.2007). Subsequently, this court issued its decision in Sanders, which held that the initial burden is on the Secretary to prove that any 38 U.S.C. § 5103(a) notice error was nonprejudicial. In Sanders, we fur*909ther stated that “the claimant bears the burden of demonstrating error in the VCAA [Veterans Claims Assistance Act] notice.” Id. at 891.
¶5The parties state that in this case, Zeugner-Maynard made an intentional decision not to raise the issue of whether a VCAA notice error had occurred. However, the parties argue that the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims nevertheless determined that there had been a notice error. The parties assert that the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims’ decision is not consistent with our decision in Sandersand thus we should vacate and remand. The court agrees.
¶6Accordingly,
¶7IT IS ORDERED THAT:
¶8(1) The motion to vacate and remand is granted.
¶9(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
