Dismissed
The motion to have the Board's decision reversed or revised under a motion of clear and unmistakable error is dismissed.
The deciding factor: Because the Board's September 24, 2004 decision has been upheld on appeal, the Board does not have jurisdiction to adjudicate the merits of the motion.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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.
