NOTE: This disposition is nonprecedential. Appeal from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims in No. 17-0676, Judge William S. Greenberg. ADAM WILLIAM BURROWBRIDGE, Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati, PC, Washington, DC, argued for claimant-appellant. Also represented by SONJA ROCHELLE GERRARD, MICHAEL T. ROSATO, Seattle, WA. REBECCA SARAH KRUSER, Commercial Litigation Branch, Civil Division, United States Department of Justice, Washington, DC, argued for respondent-appellee. Also represented by JOSEPH H. HUNT, MARTIN F.

Before REYNA, HUGHES, and STOLL, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
Appellant Robert J. Tropiak appeals a decision of the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims affirming the Board of Veterans' Appeals decision to deny Mr. Tropiak a compensable rating for his foot condition under Diagnostic Code 7806. Tropiak v. Shulkin, No. 17-0676, 2018 WL 1074703 (Vet. App. Feb. 28, 2018). We find that Mr. Tropiak's appeal raises only factual issues or issues of application of law to fact. Because we lack jurisdiction to review such issues, Cook v. Principi, 353 F.3d 937, 939 (Fed. Cir. 2003); see also 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2), we dismiss.
DISMISSED
No costs.
