              __________________________

    Before LOURIE, LINN, and PROST, Circuit Judges.
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) (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 applica-
tion of law to fact. Under 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2), however,
we lack jurisdiction to review such factual determina-
tions. We must therefore dismiss Sharp’s appeal.

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

                      DISMISSED

                          COSTS

   Each party shall bear its own costs.
