Opinion of the Court
ORDER
Jose A. Navarro responds to the issue of whether his petition for review should be dismissed as frivolous.

Navarro appears to believe that he is entitled to relief pursuant to the Foreign Service Act. However, Navarro does not explain what relief he seeks under that act or cite any provisions that support his position.
