View this case - free

Pittman v. DOJ, 2006-3263, UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FEDERAL CIRCUIT, May 15, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Petitioner's argument that the AJ failed to consider his claim under 38 U.S.C.S. § 4312(a) lacked merit. Substantial evidence supported that he was reemployed in his previous position at the agency following military service. MSPB lacked jurisdiction to consider his improper removal claims, and denial of those claims on the merits was in error.

View this case - free  

Overview: MSPB properly dismissed an employee's appeal of her demotion for lack of jurisdiction under 5 U.S.C.S. § 7512(3), (4) because her transfer proposal form, which stated that she accepted a lower paying position under threat of termination, showed that she voluntarily and without agency coercion accepted a demotion based on her performance.
