ON MOTION
 

  RANDALL R. RADER, Circuit Judge.
 

   ORDER
  

  Charles E. Blackwell moves without opposition to stay proceedings in this appeal pending the court’s disposition of
  
   Harms v. Nicholson,
  
  2007-7005.
 

  Blackwell asserts that both this case and
  
   Harms
  
  involve the issue of whether an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims from a denial of a motion to vacate is timely if filed within 120 days of the date of the decision denying the motion.
 

  We conclude that a stay is warranted and authorize the clerk of the court to grant similar unopposed motions.
 

  Accordingly,
 

  IT IS ORDERED THAT:
 

  (1) The motion to stay is granted. Blackwell is directed to inform this court within 14 days of the court’s disposition of
  
   Harms
  
  how he believes this appeal should proceed. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs may also respond within that time.
 

  (2) A copy of this order shall be transmitted to the merits panel assigned to hear
  
   Harms.
  

  (3) The clerk of the court is authorized to grant similar unopposed motions in the future.
