United States Federal Circuit

Plaintiff's appeal of a non-final order of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims denying plaintiff's motion for a limited remand is dismissed because the order is not a final appealable order, and there is not a substantial risk that the interim decision will not survive a later stage of litigation.
