CAVC–17-14??– AWAITING THE DOCKET

Posted on May 20, 2017 by asknod

One thing I love about Extraordinary Writs is the alacrity that enervates the DVA when it hits 625 Native American Ave. NW. Before it can even be docketed this time, I have a decision back from the Seattle Regional Office … Continue reading →

ILP–LAST CALL FOR SILVER QUEEN

Posted on September 30, 2016 by asknod

CAVC– #116-2098-POST GAME WRAP AND POST MORTEM

Posted on September 1, 2016 by asknod

After every CAVC encounter and especially Extraordinary Writs of Mandamus, I like to dissect them to ascertain what was gained, lost or ignored. Basically, those are the only talismans to wave after the dust settles. So, in retrospect, what did … Continue reading →

I love the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) method for Extraordinary Writs of Mandamus. Just like those fabled Chinese dry cleaners’ claims of ‘In by ten, you come get when little hand on three.’, my Ex. Writ was ‘in’ … Continue reading →
