   PER CURIAM.

Pamela J. Sharp (“Sharp”) appeals from a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims denying entitlement to attorney fees and expenses under the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2412(d). See Sharp v. Shinseki, No. 07-2481(E), 2011 WL 383935 (Vet.App. Feb. 8, 2011). Sharp’s appeal does not present a constitutional issue or a question of law. Rather, her appeal would require this court to review questions of fact and application of law to fact. Under 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2), however, we lack jurisdiction to review such factual determinations. We must therefore dismiss Sharp’s appeal.

For the foregoing reasons, we dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

DISMISSED.
