ORDER DISMISSING APPLICATION FOR REVIEW

November 26, 1993

The Union has filed an application for review of the Regional Director's Letter dated November 2, 1993, in the above-captioned case. For the reasons set out below, the Union's application is interlocutory and must be dismissed.

By letter dated October 15, 1993, the Union filed with the Regional Director objections to the proposed consent election agreement in the above-captioned case. In response to the Union's objections, the Regional Director issued a letter dated November 2, 1993, stating that he had decided to approve the proposed election agreement.

The Regional Director's November 2, 1993, letter did not address and decide the merits of the petition for decertification. Therefore, the Union's application for review of the November 2 letter is interlocutory.

The Authority "ordinarily will not consider interlocutory appeals." 5 C.F.R. § 2429.11. An interlocutory appeal concerns a ruling which is preliminary to final disposition of a matter.

Accordingly, the Union's application for review is dismissed without prejudice to the Union to refile an application for review with the Authority after a final decision and order is issued on the merits of the petition in the above-captioned case.

For the Authority.
