1Opinion of the Court
FAIRCHILD, Senior Circuit Judge.
This petition for review of a decision by the Benefits Review Board (the BRB) presents a single issue: under the Long-shore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (the Longshore Act 1 ), when does the thirty day period for filing an appeal to the BRB from an adverse decision by an Administrative Law Judge (AU) begin? The BRB dismissed Jeffboat’s appeal as untimely, holding that the period began the day the AU’s order was filed in the office of the Deputy Commissioner, notwithstanding the Deputy Commissioner’s failure to mail Jeffboat’s counsel a copy of the order.
