Kenneth M. CARPENTER, Appellant, v. Anthony J. PRINCIPI, Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Appellee. Ronald G. Harrison, Intervenor.

No. 00-2300.

United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

April 18, 2002.

15 Vet. App. 88

Before KRAMER, Chief Judge, and FARLEY, HOLDAWAY, IVERS, STEINBERG, and GREENE, Judges.

eration after receiving notice of filing of NOA to Federal Circuit); Villamor v. West, 11 Vet.App. 193 (1998) (en banc order); see also Cerullo v. Derwinski, 1 Vet. App. 195, 196 (1991) (filing of an NOA confers plenary jurisdiction upon an appellate court), the Court does not have jurisdiction to review the appellant’s untimely motion for a panel decision or motion for leave. The Court does, of course, have jurisdiction to decide its own jurisdiction. See Kelsey v. West, 13 Vet.App. 437 (2000) (per curiam order); Marsh v. West, 11 Vet.App. 468, 469 (1998); Smith (Irma) v. Brown, 10 Vet.App. 330, 332 (1997).

Upon consideration of the foregoing, it is

ORDERED that the appellant’s motions are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
