No. 90-3118.

United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.

April 4, 1990.

ON MOTION

Before ARCHER, Circuit Judge, and BALDWIN and BENNETT, Senior Circuit Judges.

ORDER

ARCHER, Circuit Judge.

1

The United States Postal Service moves to dismiss Barbara Morris' petition for review for lack of jurisdiction. Barbara Morris has not filed a response.

2

Morris petitioned this court for review of an arbitrator's decision, In the Matter of Arbitration Between the United States Postal Service and the American Postal Workers Union, AFL-CIO. Recently, in Burke v. United States Postal Service, 888 F.2d 833 (Fed.Cir.1989), we determined that we lack jurisdiction over a petition from an arbitrator's award issued pursuant to a Postal Service collective bargaining agreement. Burke, 888 F.2d at 834 (Postal Service is not an "executive agency" for purposes of 5 U.S.C. Sec. 7121 and, further the Postal Reorganization Act does not make Sec. 7121 applicable to Postal Service employees).

3

Accordingly, because we lack jurisdiction,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

The Postal Service's motion to dismiss is granted.
