PER CURIAM.

ORDER In response to the court’s August 31, 2022, order to show cause, the Merit Systems Protection Board urges dis- missal of this petition for review as untimely. Heather A.

Melton has not responded.

The Board entered its final decision in this case on April 21, 2022, affirming the dismissal of Ms. Melton’s pe- tition for enforcement. This court received Ms. Melton’s petition for review seventy-one days later, on July 1, 2022.

2 MELTON v. MSPB

Section 7703(b)(1)(A) of title 5 of the U.S. Code man- dates that a petition for review “shall be filed within 60 days after the Board issues notice of the final order or de- cision of the Board.” This deadline is jurisdictional and not subject to equitable tolling. See Fedora v. Merit Sys. Prot.

Bd., 848 F.3d 1013, 1016 (Fed. Cir. 2017). Thus, we only consider whether the petition for review was timely filed.

Ms. Melton’s petition here was received outside of the 60- day filing deadline, and we therefore dismiss.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The petition for review is dismissed. (2) All pending motions are denied as moot. (3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
