ORDER STRIKING NOTICE OF MULTICIRCUIT PETITIONS FOR REVIEW
WM. TERRELL HODGES, Chairman.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order dated April 16, 2003. On June 18, 2003, the Panel filed, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a)(3), a notice of multicircuit petitions for review of that order. The notice included two petitions for review, one each pending in Courts of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and for the Ninth Circuit.
In order to trigger the random selection procedures under Section 2112(a)(3), the petitions for review included in FERC's notice to the Panel must meet strict statutory requirements. First, the petitions for review must be filed in the court of appeals and received by the agency within ten days of the agency order.[1] Based upon information supplied by FERC in its notice of multicircuit petitions for review, both petitions now before the Panel were filed in each court of appeals and received by FERC within the ten day statutory window. Second, petitions for review must be "stamped by the court with the date of filing," and then, these file-stamped petitions must be received by the agency "from the persons instituting the proceedings." 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a). A review of FERC's noticeincluding the attached petitions for reviewreveals that while the Ninth Circuit petition satisfies both of these statutory requirements,[2] the District of Columbia Circuit petition clearly does not exhibit the requisite circuit court "filed or received" stamp.[3] Accordingly, the District of Columbia Circuit petition for review *1381 does not meet the statutory criteria for inclusion in the notice.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that this notice of multicircuit petitions for review, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a)(3), is stricken.
