   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.

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.
