Walter J. Bennett, Petitioner Pro Se. Daniel D. Campbell, NATIONAL
TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD, Washington, D.C., for Respondent.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Walter J. Bennett filed a petition for review of the National
Transportation Safety Board’s (“Board”) order dismissing his appeal
from the administrative law judge’s decision suspending his mer-
chant mariner’s license for six months based on a charge of miscon-
duct and placing him on a twelve month probationary period.
Parties are accorded sixty days to file a petition for review
in the appropriate court of appeals after the Board issues its
final order. 49 U.S.C. § 1153(a) (1994). The Board’s order is
dated July 10, 2000, and was served on July 12, 2000. Bennett did
not file his petition for review until September 14, 2000. We
therefore deny the petition for lack of jurisdiction because
Bennett’s petition was not timely filed. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
