Michael Bell, v. Director, Office of Workers' Compensation Programs, Respondent,washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, Intervenor, 15 F.3d 1159 (D.C. Cir. 1994)

This petition for review was considered on the record from the United States Department of Labor Benefits Review Board and on the briefs filed by the parties. The court has determined that the issues presented occasion no need for an opinion. See D.C. Cir. Rule 36(b). It is

ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the petition for review be denied. The Administrative Law Judge's conclusion that the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority did not discriminate against petitioner in retaliation for his exercise of his right to receive compensation for his work-related injury was supported by "substantial evidence in the record as a whole." See Geddes v. Director, O.W.C.P., 851 F.2d 440, 443 (D.C. Cir. 1988).

The Clerk is directed to withhold issuance of the mandate herein until seven days after disposition of any timely petition for rehearing. See D.C. Cir. Rule 35.
