ORDER
Michael B. Graves moves for correction of docketing
information and the relief sought in his “Application for
Enforcement.”
We note that Mr. Graves has filed a petition for
review of the Merit Systems Protection Board’s December
27, 2012 final order. To the extent Mr. Graves is arguing
the merits of his case in that part of his submission enti-
tled “Application for Enforcement,” these arguments
belong in his briefs on the merits of his petition for re-
view.

2 MICHAEL GRAVES v. NAVY
Mr. Graves also argues that the “date of docketing”
for this case is February 20, 2013, the day the court
received the petition for review, not February 26, 2013.
As Mr. Graves’s motion notes, however, the Practice
Notes to Federal Circuit Rule 15 indicate:
A petition for review . . . is filed when the pe-
tition for review . . . is received in the court . .
. . A petition for review . . . is docketed when
it is assigned a docket number, a docket card
for the petition for review . . . is made avail-
able to the public, and the names of the par-
ties to the petition for review . . . are
recorded in the party index that is available
to the public.
Accordingly, there is no reason to change the date of
docketing for Mr. Graves’s petition for review.
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
The motions are denied.
