Doris M. Leddy, Petitioner, v. United States Postal Service, Respondent, 91 F.3d 166 (Fed. Cir. 1996)

Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit - 91 F.3d 166 (Fed. Cir. 1996) April 19, 1996

Before NEWMAN, MICHEL, and RADER, Circuit Judges.

NEWMAN, Circuit Judge.


Doris M. Leddy appeals the decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board, Docket No. PH0752930360-I-1, dismissing her appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Based on our decision in Schall v. United States Postal Service, 73 F.3d 341 (Fed. Cir. 1996), we affirm.

In Schall we held that the Merit Systems Protection Board does not have jurisdiction to review an action affecting a non-preference eligible employee of the Postal Service if that action was taken as part of a reduction in force. Id. at 344. Ms. Leddy is a non-preference eligible employee and does not allege that the reorganization of the Postal Service which resulted in her demotion was directed at her personally or otherwise a sham. Under such circumstances, Schall establishes that the Board lacks jurisdiction over her appeal.
