               __________________________

       Before RADER, Chief Judge, LOURIE and TARANTO,
                     Circuit Judges.
 PER CURIAM.
                        ORDER
     The court considers whether this appeal should be
 dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
     On May 30, 2013, the Merit Systems Protection Board
 (Board) issued its final order dismissing Pamela R. Jones’
 case for lack of jurisdiction. The Board’s decisions note
 that Jones signed up to receive documents by electronic
 mail. The court received her petition for review on July

 JONES   v. ARMY                                                2

 31, 2013; 62 days after Jones was deemed to receive the
 Board’s decision. See 5 C.F.R. § 1201.14(m)(2).
      Our review of a Board decision or order is governed by
 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1), which provides in relevant part that
 “[n]otwithstanding any other provision of law, any peti-
 tion for review shall be filed within 60 days after the
 Board issues notice of the final order or decision of the
 Board.” 5 U.S.C. § 7703(b)(1)(A). This filing period is
 “statutory, mandatory, [and] jurisdictional.” Monzo v.
 Dep’t of Transp., 735 F.2d 1335, 1336 (Fed. Cir. 1984).
 Because Jones’ appeal as to the underlying judgment was
 filed outside of the statutory deadline for taking an appeal
 to this court, we must dismiss the appeal.
       Accordingly,
       IT IS ORDERED THAT:
       (1) The appeal is dismissed.
       (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
