Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection Board in No. NY-3443-22-0050-I-1. ______________________
Before LOURIE, HUGHES, and CUNNINGHAM, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM. ORDER On January 18, 2023, this court received a submission from Norma Maria Baker that was docketed as a petition to review the Merit Systems Protection Board’s March 15, 2022, final decision in Board No. NY-3443-22-0050-I-1 (the only matter identified in the petition). Responding to this court’s show cause order, the Board urges the court to dis- miss as untimely. Ms. Baker has not responded. Case: 23-1585 Document: 9 Page: 2 Filed: 07/06/2023
2 BAKER v. MSPB
“[A] petition to review a final order or final decision of the Board shall be filed in the United States Court of Ap- peals for the Federal Circuit . . . within 60 days after the Board issues notice of the final order or decision.” 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1)(A). This requirement is “mandatory and juris- dictional,” and thus cannot be waived or equitably tolled. Fedora v. Merit Sys. Prot. Bd., 848 F.3d 1013, 1016 (Fed. Cir. 2017) (citation omitted). Because Ms. Baker’s petition was not received within that time, we dismiss. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The petition for review is dismissed. (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
