ORDER
The Employer’s and Petitioner’s Requests for Review of the Regional Director’s Order
Dismissing Petition are denied as they raise no substantial issues warranting review.1
JOHN F. RING, CHAIRMAN
LAUREN McFERRAN, MEMBER
MARVIN E. KAPLAN, MEMBER
Dated, Washington, D.C., September 13, 2019.

1 Member Emanuel is recused and took no part in the consideration of this case.
In denying the Employer’s and Petitioner’s Requests for Review, we do not rely on the
Regional Director’s citations to Poole Foundry & Machine Co., 95 NLRB 34, 35 (1951), enfd.
192 F.2d 740 (4th Cir. 1951), which establishes the Board’s “settlement bar” doctrine, or on his
citations to particular sections of the Board’s Casehandling Manual, which pertain to the Board’s
blocking-charge policy. Rather, we observe that the instant petition was properly dismissed
because it was filed during the parties’ agreed-upon extension of the certification year. See Mar-
Jac Poultry Co., 136 NLRB 785, 786-787 (1962).
Chairman Ring and Member Kaplan agree that the requests for review have failed to
show that the Regional Director erred in dismissing the petition at issue. Their agreement is
based solely on the limited and particular facts of this case, without any implication as to
whether a petition should be processed in any other circumstances.
