MEMORANDUM *

The record reveals sufficient evidence to support the district court’s conclusion that an authorized employee or officer appointed Mitchell to his position and that he performed a federal function in the course of his employment with the government. See 5 U.S.C. § 2105(a). The form used to memorialize Mitchell’s employment references his appointee status multiple times, and an authorized designee of the Secretary of the Air Force appointed Mitchell to his position. 5 U.S.C. § 2105(a)(l)(C)-(D); see 5 U.S.C. § 302(b)(1) (“[T]he head of an agency may delegate to subordinate officials the authority ... to take final action on matters pertaining to the employment, direction, and general administration of personnel under his agency.”). This conforms with the statutory requirements for appointment. 5 U.S.C. § 2105(a)(1)(C)-(D). Finally, his work as an Air Force employee handling cargo at a military base is a federal function under 5 U.S.C. § 2105(a)(2).

AFFIRMED.
