1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This proceeding arises under the Long-shore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. §§ 901-950 (1982 & Supp. II 1984) (“LHWCA” or “the Act”), and more specifically, under that section of the Act which authorizes the courts of appeal to review “final order[s]” of the Benefits Review Board (“Board”). See id. at § 921(c).1 But the instant petition, like a fish that has not yet grown to the legal minimum, has been prematurely netted in appellate waters. We explain briefly why we throw this undersized specimen overboard.
