This morning, the Federal Circuit released one nonprecedential opinion and three nonprecedential orders. The opinion addresses a pro se appeal from a judgment of the Merit Systems Protection Board. Two of the orders deny petitions, while one dismisses an appeal. Late Friday, the Federal Circuit also released one nonprecedential order dismissing another appeal. Here is the introduction to the opinion, selected text from the orders denying petitions, and links to the dismissals.
Davis v. Office of Personnel Management (Nonprecedential Opinion)
Rose Kimble-Davis, the ex-wife of Harvey Kimble, a deceased federal employee, appeals the decision of the Merit Systems Protections Board (the “Board”) finding her not entitled to certain retirement benefits. Because substantial evidence supports the Board’s finding that Ms. Kimble-Davis did not establish she is entitled to the benefits, we affirm.
