                       ORDER
                __________________________
                       PER CURIAM.
   Upon review of this recently docketed appeal, it ap-
pears that Alex Evitt, Jr.’s appeal was not timely filed.
    On April 19, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals
for Veterans Claims entered judgment in Evitt’s case.
The court issued mandate on October 23, 2012. His notice
of appeal was received on June 27, 2013.

EVITT v. SHINSEKI                                            2

    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) Evitt 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.
