substantial ground for difference of opinion thereon, and that
an immediate appeal may materially advance the ultimate
termination of the litigation. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C.
§ 7292(b)(1), the court has exclusive jurisdiction of certain

The Judiciary Information Technology Fund provides the
judiciary with a funds management tool which allows more
effective and efficient planning, budgeting, and use of funds
for information technology activities. The Fund was authorized ‘‘without fiscal year limitation,’’ which allows the judiciary to carry forward funds for projects that incur obligations
over multiple years. The Fund makes it possible to implement
the Long Range Plan for Information Technology in the Federal Judiciary and to manage the information technology program over a multi-year planning cycle while maximizing efficiencies and benefits. The Fund is financed through deposits
and transfers from appropriations, reimbursements, user fees,
and the sale of surplus equipment.
