MEMORANDUM^* 

Michael Dobson petitions pro se for review of an order of the Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") rescinding his Certificate of Authorization to perform parachute jumps. We dismiss the petition as untimely.

A petition for review of a FAA order must be filed not later than 60 days after issuance of the order. See 49 U.S.C. § 46110(a); Sierra Club v. Skinner, 885 F.2d 591, 593 (9th Cir. 1989). Dobson filed his petition for review on June 4, 1997, more than 60 days after issuance of the FAA's August 8, 1996 order. Although this court may allow a late petition if there are reasonable grounds for not filing within 60 days, see 49 U.S.C. § 46110(a), Dobson has not presented any reasonable explanation for his untimely petition. We dismiss the petition as untimely. See Sierra Club, 885 F.2d at 594.

PETITION FOR REVIEW DISMISSED.
