This morning the Federal Circuit released three nonprecedential opinions and a Rule 36 judgment. The first two nonprecedential opinions affirm decisions of the Merit Systems Protection Board, while the third vacates and remands a decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board. Here are the introductions to the opinions and a link to the Rule 36 judgment.
Hobson v. Department of Defense (Nonprecedential)
Petitioner Faye Hobson challenges the Merit Systems Protection Board’s dismissal of her petition for enforcement of an earlier Board order directing Respondent, Department of Defense, to reconstruct a job selection process of which Ms. Hobson was a part. Because there is substantial evidence for the Board’s conclusion that the agency complied with the order, we affirm.
Perkins v. United States Postal Service (Nonprecedential)
Debra Perkins, proceeding pro se, petitions for review of a final decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board (“Board”) which denied Ms. Perkins’ petition for enforcement of a settlement agreement. We affirm.
Buckanaga v. Merit Systems Protection Board (Nonprecedential)
Linda Buckanaga seeks review of the Final Order of the Merit Systems Protection Board sustaining the Initial Decision of the Administrative Judge dismissing Ms. Buckanaga’s involuntary disability retirement appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Ms. Buckanaga claims that multiple incidents during her employment created a hostile work environment and led to her involuntary resignation. Because the Administrative Judge did not consider the totality of the circumstances and weighed evidence at the non-frivolous allegations stage of the proceeding, we vacate the decisions from the Board and the Administrative Judge and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
