Head Matter:
Amy AKAO, Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF the TREASURY, Respondent.
No. 2012-3001.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
Jan. 12, 2012.
Before NEWMAN, LINN, and REYNA, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
ON MOTION
PER CURIAM.
ORDER
Amy Akao moves for reconsideration of the court's previous rejection of her petition for review.
The Merit Systems Protection Board issued its final order on July 13, 2011. Ms. Akao received the order via electronic mail on July 13, 2011. Ms. Akao's petition was received by this court on September 13, 2011, sixty-two days after she received the Board's final order.
Our review of a Board decision or order is governed by 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1), which provides that "[n]otwithstanding any other provision of law, any petition for review must be filed within 60 days after the date the petitioner received notice of the final order or decision of the board." This filing period is "statutory, mandatory, [and] jurisdictional." Monzo v. Dep't of Transportation, 735 F.2d 1335, 1336 (Fed.Cir.1984); see also Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 127 S.Ct. 2360, 168 L.Ed.2d 96 (2007) (the timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional requirement that cannot be waived).
Because Ms. Akao's petition was not received within 60 days of the date she received the Board's decision, we must dismiss her petition as untimely.
Accordingly,
It Is Ordered That:
(1) Ms. Akao's motion for reconsideration is denied, and her petition is dismissed. Any other pending motions are denied as moot.
(2) All sides shall bear their own costs.
