Dismissed
The appeal was dismissed due to the Veteran's death while it was pending before the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.
The deciding factor: The appeal is dismissed as a matter of law, since claims do not survive the death of a veteran and there is no eligible party for substitution.
