ORDER

1
The Secretary of Veterans Affairs moves to waive Fed.Cir.R. 27(d) and to dismiss William J. Johnson, Jr.'s appeal.  Johnson moves for an extension of time to file his opposition, with opposition attached.

2
Johnson seeks review of an order of the United States Court of Veterans Appeals summarily affirming, in part, the Board of Veterans Appeals decision denying his claims for service-connection for various physical conditions.*  Johnson 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).

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