    Appeal from the United States Court of Appeals for
 Veterans Claims in 12-1171, Judge Robert N. Davis.
               __________________________

                      ON MOTION
                __________________________

                        ORDER

     Richard Rebstock submits a “motion to proceed” and a
 “motion to affirm petition.” The government responds to
 the motion to affirm.

     To the extent that his motions seek immediate con-
 sideration of his case, Rebstock’s appeal is under consid-
 eration by the court and a disposition will issue in due

 course. Thus no motion is necessary. To the extent
 Rebstock is arguing the merits of his case, those argu-
 ments belong in his brief, not motions. Nonetheless, the
 court will construe the motion to affirm as a request for
 supplemental briefing.

       Upon consideration thereof,

       IT IS ORDERED THAT:

       (1) Rebstock’s motions are denied.

     (2) The motion to affirm is deemed supplemental
 briefing. Copies shall be transmitted to the merits panel
 assigned to the case.
