PER CURIAM.
ORDER
Rebecca M. Cross moves for reconsideration of the
court’s July 31, 2014 order dismissing her petition.
Any petition for review of a Merits Systems Protection
Board decision must be filed within 60 days after the
Board issues its decision and must be received by this
court within that filing deadline. See 5 U.S.C.
§ 7703(b)(1)(A), Pinat v. Office of Pers. Mgmt., 931 F.2d
1544, 1546 (Fed. Cir. 1991), Fed. R. App. P. 25(a)(2)(A).

tional.” Monzo v. Dep’t of Transp., 735 F.2d 1335, 1336
(Fed. Cir. 1984). Cross’s petition concerning the Board’s
final order was received by this court after the statutory
deadline for filing a petition. Because Cross’s petition
was not received by this court within 60 days of the date
of the Board’s decision, the court has no authority to hear
the case, regardless of Cross’s arguments as to her efforts
to ensure the timely delivery of her petition.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The motion is denied.
