Before LOURIE, LINN , and DYK , Circuit Judges.
PER C URIAM.
Hunt appeals from the decision of the Court of Ap-
peals for Veterans Claims (“Veterans Court”) affirming
the decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (“the
Board”) denying entitlement to service connection for a
psychiatric disability. Hunt v. Shinseki, No. 07-2587 (Vet.
App. July 1, 2009). Hunt argues that the Veterans Court
erred in its interpretation of 38 U.S.C. § 7104(d)(1) by
accepting the reasons and bases set forth by the Board for
rejecting certain evidence and by not independently
reviewing those reasons for adequacy and justification. In
effect, Hunt is asking this court to review factual deter-
minations. Such review is outside the scope of our juris-
diction. 38 U.S.C. § 7292(d)(2). Accordingly, we dismiss.
DISMISSED
