                ______________________

                     ON MOTION
                 ______________________

                      PER CURIAM.
                       ORDER
     Marcus Sebastian Payne moves for the court to take
 judicial notice of certain documents that he states were
 not before the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims
 (“Veterans Court”). He separately moves to supplement
 the appendix and for leave to file a supplemental brief.

 2                                             PAYNE   v. GIBSON

     The record on appeal should only include the papers
 and exhibits filed in the Veterans Court. See Fed. R. App.
 P. 10(a). Although the Federal Rules of Evidence author-
 ize judicial notice of certain documents outside of the
 record, the court is not persuaded that such action is
 warranted here. See Fed. R. Evid. 201. Additionally, the
 rules do not contemplate filing a supplemental brief. See
 Fed. R. App. P. 28.
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
       The motions are denied.
                                       FOR THE COURT

                                      /s/ Daniel E. O’Toole
