2011,69 days after the date of judgment.

    To be timely, a notice of appeal must be received by
the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims within 60 days
of the entry of judgment. See 38 U.S.C. § 7292(a); 28
U.S.C. § 2107(b); Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(1).
      Accordingly,
      IT Is ORDERED THAT:
    (1) Day is directed to show cause, within 30 days of
the date of filing of this order why this appeal should not
be dismissed as untimely. The Secretary of Veterans
Affairs may also respond within that time.
      (2) The briefing schedule is stayed.
