NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.

United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ______________________ REBECCA M. CROSS, Petitioner, v. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, Respondent. ______________________ 2014-3119 ______________________ Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection Board in No. CH-0831-12-0766-I-2. ______________________ Before REYNA, BRYSON, and TARANTO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

ORDER Rebecca M. Cross moves for reconsideration of the court’s July 31, 2014 order dismissing her petition.

Any petition for review of a Merits Systems Protection Board decision must be filed within 60 days after the Board issues its decision and must be received by this court within that filing deadline. See 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1)(A), Pinat v. Office of Pers. Mgmt., 931 F.2d 1544, 1546 (Fed. Cir. 1991), Fed. R. App. P. 25(a)(2)(A).

This filing period is “statutory, mandatory, [and] jurisdic- Case: 14-3119 Document: 17 Page: 2 Filed: 10/24/2014

tional.” Monzo v. Dep’t of Transp., 735 F.2d 1335, 1336 (Fed. Cir. 1984). Cross’s petition concerning the Board’s final order was received by this court after the statutory deadline for filing a petition. Because Cross’s petition was not received by this court within 60 days of the date of the Board’s decision, the court has no authority to hear the case, regardless of Cross’s arguments as to her efforts to ensure the timely delivery of her petition.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The motion is denied.
