Description
PLAGER, Circuit Judge. Roland Spruill (Spruill), an employee of the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA), was given a three-day suspension by the agency. He petitioned the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or Board) for review of his suspension, which he alleged was taken by the agency in retaliation for his filing of a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The Administrative Judge (AJ) dismissed Spruill's petition for lack of jurisdiction, holding that the filing of such an EEOC complaint was not within the ambit of 5 U.S.C § 2302(b)(8).1 (Docket No. DE122191W0104, January 30, 1991). Since Spruill did not file a petition for review with the MSPB, the initial decision of the AJ became the final decision of the MSPB. 5 C.F.R. § 1201.113 (1991).
