How do i find a United States Court of Appeals for Veterans March 2006 case?

[MikeHunt]

Buck provided a BVA (I THINK) case in this thread

The BVA decision refers to an earlier appeals court case. How do I get that case?

Which are 'precedent setting?' VBA or the US court?

Thanks in advance!

At their home page there are links to their decisions to this page:

You will  need the name of the claimant, and hopefully you know who represented them.

The yy-nnnn thing helps a lot if you have their Docket number....or put something into that date range.

Also you can try to google US CAVC and their name.

Only the CAVC can issue a precedent decision.

Mark Lippman repped him at the BVA- maybe even at the CAVC---he might remember the case- or maybe Dr Bash would...it would be worth calling them.

I was just talking to Jerrel Cook and we will be discussing Lyme disease as part of the Blog Radio show Monday night...it is something we have not discussed yet and I imagine many vets  could get Lyme disease during their service. And we will try to do an update on the Liver Fluke situation.

A "precedent" case is a CAVC case which is "En Banc" or "Panel".  A single judge CAVC decision is not considered precedential.  Any Federal Circuit case is precedential, and, of course, any US Supreme Court case is always precedential.

Let me just say this,

2006 Flores

Is a good read.  She scammed and then tried to scam the VA and the VA scammed her...

If she would have done the right thing, she would be ok now.

Funny stuff,
