Dismissed
The appeal of entitlement to service connection for sinusitis was dismissed due to a procedural defect, as the Notice of Disagreement was submitted more than one year after the initial denial and no good cause was shown.
The deciding factor: The untimely attempted appeal without a showing of good cause constitutes a procedural defect under the Appeals Modernization Act framework.
