Dismissed
The Board has dismissed the appeal because it was not properly transferred and is currently in process of being adjudicated by the AOJ.
The deciding factor: The appeal was erroneously sent to the Board along with a separate appeal, which is why it cannot be reviewed at this time.

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A dismissal means the Board did not decide the issue on its merits — usually because it was withdrawn or had become moot.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