U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, 1985

Gardner v. Library of Congress

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit · Decided September 26, 1985

774 F.2d 1081; 1985 U.S. App. LEXIS 15285 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

ORDER *

Petitioner has filed a direct appeal seeking review of her removal from employment with the Library of Congress. Because the Library is part of the Legislative Branch, its employees are not in the competitive service, 5 U.S.C. § 2102, and may not appeal adverse actions to the Merit Systems Protection Board (Board).

Our jurisdiction to consider appeals of adverse actions is limited to those determined in final decisions of the Board. 5 U.S.C. §§ 7703(b)(2); 7703(d); 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(9). This court is therefore without jurisdiction to consider the present appeal. It is therefore

ORDERED:

- Respondent’s motion to dismiss is granted.

This Order was issued in unpublished form on September 9, 1985. It is converted to published form in response to respondent’s motion filed September 23, 1985.
