The Board has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of the motion for revision of a decision based on clear and unmistakable error due to the Court's vacating and remanding the May 28, 2002, decision. As such, the motion is dismissed.
The deciding factor: There was no final decision by the Board that could be reviewed for CUE as the Court had already vacated and remanded the May 28, 2002, decision.

What this means for you
A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot. It says more about procedure than about whether a claim like this can win.
