Unpublished Dispositionthomas L. Flemings, Petitioner, v. United States Postal Service, Respondent, 824 F.2d 979 (Fed. Cir. 1987)

DECISION

The final decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board (Board), Docket No. CH07528610311, sustaining the removal of the petitioner from his position as a Custodial Laborer, is affirmed.

OPINION

The Board sustained the United States Postal Service's decision to remove the petitioner, Thomas L. Flemings, on charges of absence without leave, and failure to attend Employee Assistance Program counseling pursuant to the terms of a prior disciplinary settlement. Flemings' arguments against the charges consist of little more than disagreement with the presiding official's credibility determinations, which we will not overturn. Hambsch v. Dep't of the Treasury, 796 F.2d 430, 436 (Fed. Cir. 1986). We affirm the Board's final decision because it was not arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of dis-discretion, unsupported by substantial evidence, or otherwise not in accordance with law. See 5 U.S.C. § 7703(c) (1982).
