Department of Veterans Affairs ── Case No.: 25-14010 Court: Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Date: April 03, 2026 Category: NEW USCA11 Case: 25-14010 Document: 18-1 Date Filed: 04/03/2026 Page: 1 of 2 NOT FOR PUBLICATION In the United States Court of Appeals For the Eleventh Circuit ____________________ No. 25-14010 Non-Argument Calendar ____________________ JERRY PAUL CARROLL, Petitioner, versus DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS, Respondent. ____________________ Petition for Review of a Decision of the Department of Veteran Affairs Agency No. 1932412871 ____________________ Before ROSENBAUM, NEWSOM, and LUCK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM: The petition for review is DISMISSED, sua sponte, for lack of jurisdiction. Jerry Carroll, proceeding pro se, filed with us a pe- tition for review of an alleged constructive denial of his claims by USCA11 Case: 25-14010 Document: 18-1 Date Filed: 04/03/2026 Page: 2 of 2 2 Opinion of the Court 25-14010 the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (“BVA”). Carroll’s petition has failed to specifically designate any appealable order or judgment from the BVA. See Fed. R. App. P. 3(c)(1)(B) (explaining that a no- tice of appeal must “designate the judgment—or the appealable or- der—from which the appeal is taken”). Regardless, Carroll cannot invoke our review because Congress has granted exclusive jurisdic- tion to the Court of Appeals for Veteran Claims to review decisions of the BVA. 38 U.S.C. § 7252(a); see City of Baton Rouge v. U.S. EPA, 620 F.2d 478, 480 (5th Cir. 1980) (explaining that the jurisdiction of a court of appeals to review agency orders in the first instance wholly depends upon statutory authorization). All pending motions are DENIED as moot.
