the petition. See Rule 20(b).
The petition arrived at the Court by mail in an envelope
properly addressed to the Court in Washington, D.C. The envelope
bears the imprint of a rectangular ink stamp that states at the
top "Royal Mail" and that states at the bottom "Postage Paid -

any date. An air mail sticker is also affixed to the envelope.
A return label placed immediately above the label for the
addressee's name and address reads as follows: "If undelivered
please return to: PO Box 1006, Doncaster DN4 5NE England". The
return label is placed over what appears to be Ms. Berliner's
name and address at the office of Ernst and Young in New York.
Except for the docket number of this case, which was placed
on the envelope by personnel of the Court's Petitions Section, no

on either the front or reverse side of the envelope. In
