Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit - 889 F.2d 1099 (Fed. Cir. 1989) Oct. 10, 1989

Before FRIEDMAN, Circuit Judge, BALDWIN, Senior Circuit Judge, and MAYER, Circuit Judge.

BALDWIN, Senior Circuit Judge.


DECISION

Phyllis Taylor (petitioner) appeals the Voluntary Labor Arbitration Tribunal's (VLAT) decision, Case No. 72 30 0496 83, sustaining her demotion by the Social Security Administration. We affirm.

OPINION

Our review of the VLAT decision is limited to a determination of whether such decision is:

(1) arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law;

(2) obtained without procedures required by law, rule, or regulation having been followed; or

(3) unsupported by substantial evidence.

5 U.S.C. § 7703(c) (1982); see Hayes v. Department of Navy, 727 F.2d 1535, 1537 (Fed. Cir. 1984).

After reviewing all of petitioner's arguments, we conclude that petitioner has not shown that any of the above grounds for reversal exists.
