Question(s) Presented

“Whether the Board lacked jurisdiction over Cruz’ appeal.”

Holding

“We hold only that in a case like the present, where the Board has determined that a resignation in the face of serious charges was voluntary, it never acquired jurisdiction to decide anything, including the question of whether there may also have been another reason–one outside the Board’s statutorily assigned jurisdiction–for proposing those valid charges.”
