PER CUR1AM.

0 R D E R The Department of the Army moves to waive the re- quirements of Fed. Cir. R. 27(f) and to dismiss KarI Gi.bs0n’s petition for review as untimely Gibs0n re- sponds The Army replies \ GlBSON V. ARMY 2 On October 26, 2010, an arbitrator dismissed Gibson’s grievance. Gibson admits that he received the arbitra- tor’s decision by February 10, 2011. Gibson’s petition for review was received by the court on June 13, 2011, 123 days later.

A petition for review of an arbitrator's decision must be filed within 60 days of receipt of notice of the decision U.S.C. §§ '7121(f), 7703(b)(1). The 60 day filing period is "statutory, mandatory, [and] jurisdictional." See M0nzo v. Dept. of Trcmsp., 735 F.2d 1335, 1336 (Fed. Cir. 198-4); see also Oja v. Dept. of the Arm,_'y, 405 F.3d 1349, 1360 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (“[c]ompliance with the filing deadline of 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1) is a prerequisite to our exercise of jurisdiction”). Because this petition was not timely re- ceived by this court, it must be dismissed Bowles v. Ru,ssell, 551 U.S. 205 (2007) (the timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement that cannot be waived).

Accordingly, IT ls ORDERED TiiAT: (1) The Army’s motions are granted. Gibson’s peti- tion is dismissed (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
