RECONSIDERATION GRANTED.

Before CLEVENGER, Circuit Judge.

ON MOTION

ORDER

CLEVENGER, Circuit Judge.

1

Larry D. Hunter moves for reconsideration of the court's November 7, 1996 order dismissing his petition for review. The Department of the Air Force opposes.

2

Briefly, the court dismissed Hunter's petition for review for failure to file a brief. Hunter argues that because he never received a copy of the certified list, his failure to file a brief should be excused. The Air Force states that the Merit Systems Protection Board served the certified list on August 15, 1996. However, because it appears that Hunter never received the certified list the Board sent to him, the petition will be reinstated.

3

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

4

(1) The motion for reconsideration is granted. The court's November 7, 1996 dismissal order is vacated and the mandate is recalled.

5

(2) Hunter's brief is due within 30 days.
