Harley Da v. dson of Northern Utah, Petitioner,

MEMORANDUM DECISION

PER CURIAM:

Harley Davidson of Northern Utah (Harley Davidson) petitions for judicial review of a decision of the Workforce Appeals Board (Board) affirming the grant of benefits to Brandi Mason, a former Harley Davidson employee. This case is before the court on its own motion for summary disposition based on lack of jurisdiction.

The Board issued its decision on January 7, 2004. As confirmed in its docketing statement, Harley Davidson filed its petition for review on February 9, 2004. Under Utah Code section 35A-4-508(8)(a) (2001) and Utah Rule of Appellate Procedure 14, a petition for review from a final agency action must be filed within thirty days after the issuance of the order constituting the final agency action. Harley Davidson's petition for review, filed thirty-three days after the order, is untimely, and therefore this court has no jurisdiction to hear the petition.See Silva v. Department of Employment Sec., 786 P.2d 246, 247 (Utah Ct.App. 1990) (holding timely filing of petition required to confer jurisdiction).

Harley Davidson's "notice of appeal," even if filed on February 6, was ineffective as a petition for review.

Once a court has determined that it lacks jurisdiction, it "retains only the authority to dismiss the action."Varian-Eimac, Inc. v. Lamoreaux, 767 P.2d 569, 570 (Utah Ct.App. 1998). Accordingly, we dismiss this petition for lack of jurisdiction.

Judith M. Billings, Presiding Judge, Gregory K. Orme, Judge, William A. Thorne Jr., Judge.
