MEMORANDUM ^**

** This disposition is not appropriate for publication and may not be cited to or by the courts of this circuit except as may be provided by Ninth Circuit Rule 36-3.

Patricia Pryor petitions pro se for review of a decision of the Railroad Retirement Board ("Board") dismissing as untimely her appeal of a decision of the Railroad Retirement Board's Bureau of Hearings and Appeals. Because the Board's dismissal of Pryor's appeal was not a final decision on the merits as contemplated by 45 U.S.C. § 355(f), we do not have jurisdiction to review the Board's decision. See Rivera v. R.R. Ret. Bd., 262 F.3d 1005, 1008-09 (9th Cir.2001).

PETITION DISMISSED.
