simultaneously proceed in both fora, we directed her by
order of October 11, 2012, to inform this court within 21
days that she had dismissed her petition at the Board or
her petition would be dismissed. Because Nikrasch has
not done so, we dismiss. Nikrasch may appeal after the
full Board disposes of her pending petition.
      Accordingly,

      IT IS ORDERED THAT:
      (1) The petition for review is dismissed.
      (2) Each side shall bear its own costs.
