This morning the Federal Circuit issued two nonprecedential opinions. The first comes in a case appealed from the Northern District of Alabama concerning a motion to transfer a Fair Labor Standards Act claim to the Court of Federal Claims. The second comes in an employment case appealed from the Merit Systems Protection Board concerning the jurisdiction of the Board. Here are the introductions to the opinions.
Armstrong v. United States (Nonprecedential)
Reshawn Armstrong originally filed this appeal in the Eleventh Circuit, challenging eight separate orders from the Northern District of Alabama. See J.A. 31–32. One was the district court’s December 1, 2020 order granting Ms. Armstrong’s motion to transfer her Fair Labor Standards Act claim to the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. J.A. 32; J.A. 1. The Eleventh Circuit transferred the appeal of that order to us. Armstrong v. United States, No. 21-10200- CC, 2021 U.S. App. LEXIS 20183, at *1 (11th Cir. July 7, 2021). We dismiss.
Henderson v. Merit Systems Protection Board (Nonprecedential)
Valeri Henderson appeals a decision by the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board dismissing her appeal for lack of jurisdiction. As explained below, Ms. Henderson did not meet her burden of establishing that the Board had jurisdiction over her case, and so we affirm.
