Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit January 7, 2004, No. 03-7025 (Patranella v. Principi)

PER CURIAM.

In Conway v. Principi, No. 03-7072, decided today, we hold that the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (“Veterans Court”) must “take due account of the rule of prejudicial error,” as stated in 38 U.S.C. § 7261(b)(2), when presented with the question of whether the Secretary’s failure to comply with 38 U.S.C. § 5103(a) requires a remand to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals.
