BURROUGHS V. ARMY 2
On April 27, 2011, the Merit Systems Protection
Board dismissed BurroughS’ petition for review for lack of
jurisdiction Burroughs received the decision on April 30,
2011. The court received Burroughs’ petition for review
on July 6, 2011, or 66 days after Burroughs received the
Board’s final order.
A petition for review must be received by the court
within 60 days of receipt of notice of the Board's final
order. 5 U.S.C. § 77G3(b)(1). To be timely filed, the
petition must be received by this court on or before the
date that the petition is due. Pinat v. Office of Personn,el
Management, 931 F.2d 1544, 1546 (Fed. Cir. 1991) (peti-
ti0n is filed when received by this court; court dismissed
petition received nine days late). Because Burroughs’
petition was not timely received by this court, it must be
dismissed. Bowles u. Russell, 551 U.S. 205 (2007) (the
timely filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a juris-
dictional requirement that cannot be waived).
Accordingly,
IT lS ORDERED THATZ
Burroughs’ motion for reconsideration is denied and
this petition for review is dismissed as untimely f1led.
