Before NEWMAN, Circuit Judge, COWEN, Senior Circuit Judge, and MAYER, Circuit Judge.
ON MOTION
MAYER, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

1
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs moves to waive the requirements of Fed.Cir.R. 27(d) and to dismiss Lonnie Wickliffe's appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  Wickliffe has not filed a response.1

2
Wickliffe seeks review of a decision of the United States Court of Veterans Appeals summarily affirming the Board of Veterans Appeals' decision that denied Wickliffe's claim of service connection for post-traumatic stress disorder.  Wickliffe challenges only factual determinations or the application of a law or regulation to his claim.  No issue is raised that falls within the limited jurisdiction of this court under 38 U.S.C. Secs. 7292(c), (d)(1)-(2) (Supp.III 1991).  See Livingston v. Derwinski, 959 F.2d 224 (Fed.Cir.1992).

3
Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

4
(1) The Secretary's motion to waive the requirements of Fed.Cir.R. 27(d) is granted.

5
(2) The Secretary's motion to dismiss is granted.

6
(3) Each side shall bear its own costs.

 Wickliffe filed a request for the appointment of counsel.  However, the court does not have any procedure to appoint counsel.  See Guide for Pro Se Petitioners, and Appellants, p 1
