401 F. App'x 547

Medtek, Inc. v. Shinseki

Opinion

ON MOTION

PER CURIAM.

ORDER

The court treats Medtek, Inc.’s (Medtek) letter, received by the court on August 30, 2010, as a motion for reconsideration of the court’s previous rejection of Medtek’s appeal as untimely. Medtek also moves for an extension of time.

Medtek appeals from a February 4, 2010 decision of the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. Medtek indicates that it received the decision on February 4, 2010. Medtek filed this appeal on August 10, 2010, or 187 days later.

A Civilian Board of Contract Appeals decision is final unless a contractor appeals to this court within 120 days after its receipt of the decision. 41 U.S.C. § 607(g)(1). This filing period is mandatory and jurisdictional. Placeway Const. Corp. v. United States, 713 F.2d 726, 728 (Fed.Cir. 1983); see also Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007) (the timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement that cannot be waived). Medtek’s appeal was not filed within 120 days. We must therefore dismiss this appeal as untimely.

Accordingly,

It Is Ordered That:

(1) Medtek’s motion for reconsideration is denied. The appeal is dismissed.

(2) Medtek’s motion for an extension of time is denied as moot.
