PER CURIAM.
                         ORDER
    The United States Court of Appeals for Veterans
Claims docketed a letter from Ella Ree Mitchum as a notice
of appeal to this court from that court’s judgment dismiss-
ing Ms. Mitchum’s case. See ECF No. 1-3 at 1. Ms.
Mitchum now submits to this court a letter stating, among
other things, that she is “NOT appealing [ ] to the [ ] United
States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit,” that she

2                                   MITCHUM    v. MCDONOUGH

“will NOT submit” the docketing fee, fee waiver request, or
an opening brief, and that she does “NOT consent to Fed-
eral Circuit Docket No: 23-1611” because it “is unauthor-
ized.” ECF No. 4 at 4–5. The court construes that letter as
a motion to voluntarily dismiss this appeal pursuant to
Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 42(b).
    Upon consideration thereof,
    IT IS ORDERED THAT:
    (1) The motion is granted. The appeal is dismissed.
    (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
