ORDER
Per Curiam

Upon consideration of the motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and the opposition thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion to dismiss the petition for review be granted. The letter from the General Counsel at the Federal Housing Finance Board to a United States Senator does not amount to final agency action. SeeAppalachian Power Co. v. EPA, 208 F.3d 1015, 1022
(D.C. Cir. 2000) (final agency action marks the “consummation of the agency’s decisionmaking process,” and is an action “by which rights or obligations have been determined, or from which legal consequences will flow”) (internal quotations omitted).

Pursuant to D.C. Circuit Rule 36, this disposition will not be published. The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after resolution of any timely petition for rehearing or petition for rehearing en banc.See Fed.R.App.P. 41(b); D.C. Cir. Rule 41.
