ORDER

The court considers whether this appeal should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

On May 30, 2013, the Merit Systems Protection Board (Board) issued its final order dismissing Pamela R. Jones’ ease for lack of jurisdiction. The Board’s decisions note that Jones signed up to receive documents by electronic mail. The court received her petition for review on July 31, 2013; 62 days after Jones was deemed to receive the Board’s decision. See 5 C.F.R. § 1201.14(m)(2).

Our review of a Board decision or order is governed by 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1), which prowdes in relevant part that “[n]otwithstanding any other provision of law, any petition for review shall be filed within 60 days after the Board issues notice of the final order or decision of the Board.” 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1)(A). This filing period is “statutory, mandatory, [and] jurisdictional.” Monzo v. Dep’t of Tramp., 735 F.2d 1335, 1336 (Fed.Cir. 1984). Because Jones’ appeal as to the underlying judgment was filed outside of the statutory deadline for taking an appeal to this court, we must dismiss the appeal.

Accordingly,

It Is Ordered That:

(1) The appeal is dismissed.

(2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
