Anthony L. FARRERO, Petitioner, v. NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION, Respondent.
    No. 01-3230.
    United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
    DECIDED: Aug. 1, 2001.
    Before MICHEL and RADER, Circuit Judges, FRIEDMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
   ON MOTION

MICHEL, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

Anthony L. Farrero moves for reconsideration of the court’s rejection of his petition for review of a letter of the Clerk of the Merit Systems Protection Board.

Farrero states that he seeks review of a letter from the Clerk of the Board, informing Farrero that his documents, treated as a request to reopen, were rejected.

In Haines v. Merit Sys. Protection Bd., 44 F.3d 998 (1995), we held that a letter from the Clerk of the Board, informing a federal employee that her case would not be reopened, was not a final order or decision that could be appealed to this court. Farrero argues that Haines is not relevant because he titled his document a petition for review. However, we note that Farrero previously filed a petition for review, which was denied, and thereafter filed a first request to reopen. That case is here as appeal no. 01-3109 and remains pending. The present appeal, appeal no. 01-3230, appears to be a second attempt to present new evidence to the Board, and as such, was properly treated by the Board as a request to reopen. Accordingly, Haines bars this court’s further review of the case.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

Farrero’s motion for reconsideration is denied and this petition for review is dismissed.
