2 MOGHADAM v. DVA

Before NEWMAN, REYNA, and CHEN, Circuit Judges. REYNA, Circuit Judge. Nafiseh T. Moghadam appeals a Merit Systems Protec- tion Board (“Board”) decision that denied her Whistle- blower Protection Act claims. Based on the record before us, we affirm the decision of the Board. On appeal, Ms. Moghadam asserts that “she is entitled under both the [Whistleblower Protection Act] and the [Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act] to re- quest . . . attorney fees.” Reply Br. 6. We do not address this issue because it was not decided below and has not been properly raised before this court. AFFIRMED COSTS No costs.
