Before Hughes, Mayer, and Stoll, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Henry Ratliff appeals a decision of the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The Veterans Court affirmed a decision of the Board of Veterans' Appeals, denying Mr. Rat-liff's claims for disability compensation due to tinnitus. On appeal, Mr. Ratliff argues that the Veterans Court misapplied its own precedent regarding credibility determinations and erred in making its harmless error determination. Because Mr. Ratliff's arguments both involve an application of law to fact, they are beyond our jurisdiction to consider. 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2); King v. Shinseki, 700 F.3d 1339, 1345-46 (Fed. Cir. 2012). Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
DISMISSED
No costs.
