SHIPLEY-JOHNSON V. USPS 2
The Merit Systems Protection Board dismissed Ship-
ley-Johnson’s appeal and informed Shipley-Johnson that,
if she did not petition the full Board for review of the
Administrative Judge's decision, the Board's decision
would become final on May 26, 2010. The Board informed
Shipley-Johnson that any petition seeking review by this
court must be received by this court within 60 calendar
days of the date that the Board’s decision became final
Shipley-Johnson did not petition the full Board for review.
Her petition seeking review by this court was received on
July 27, 2010, or 62 days after the Board's decision be-
came final.
A petition for review must be received by the court
within 60 days of receipt of the Board's final order. 5
U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1). A petition for review must be re-
ceived by this court within the deadline and not merely
mailed before the deadline. Fed. R. App. P. 25(a)(2)(A).
The 60-day filing period is "statutory, mandatory, [and]
jurisdictional." Monzo v. Dep't of Transp., 735 F.2d 1335,
1336 (Fed. Cir. 1984); see also Oja v. Dep't of the Arrny,
405 F.3d 1349, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2005) ("[c]ompliance with
the filing deadline of 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1) is a prerequi-
site to our exercise of jurisdiction"). Because Shipley-
Johnson’s petition was not timely received by this court, it
must be dismissed
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THATZ
(1) The motion for an extension of time is granted
(2) The motion to dismiss is granted.
(3) All other pending motions are denied as 1noot.
(4) Each side shall bear its own costs.
