PLAGER, Circuit Judge.
 

  This appeal relates to the timeliness of a Petition for Review that Petitioner, Ms. Renee Harris (“Ms.Harris”), filed with the Merit Systems Protection Board (“Board”). Ms. Harris filed a Petition for Review on June 11, 2010, one day after the deadline of June 10, 2010. The Board issued a Final Order rejecting her Petition as untimely.
 

  After the Board issued its Final Order, additional information came to light regarding Ms. Harris’ counsel and his involvement in the late filing of her Petition for Review. The Board should have an opportunity to consider this additional information in deciding if Ms. Harris has shown good cause for the late filing.
 

  For this reason, we
  
   vacate
  
  the Board’s Final Order, and we
  
   remand
  
  to give the Board an opportunity to consider the full record and determine what, if any, action should be taken.
 

  VACATED AND REMANDED
