Rule 30. Citation of Nonprecedential Authority

(a) A party, intervenor, or amicus curiae may not cite as precedent any action of this Court that is:

(1) taken by a single judge;

(2) not published in the Veterans Appeals Reporter; or

(3) withdrawn after having been published in the Veterans Appeals Reporter.

(b) A person may refer to an action described in Rule 30(a)(1), (2), or (3) only when the binding or preclusive effect of that action, rather than its quality as precedent, is relevant. A copy of the action cited must be attached to the document containing such a reference.
