Charles R. Calire v. Office of Personnel Management

824 F.2d 980 Unpublished disposition NOTICE: Federal Circuit Local Rule 47.8(b) states that opinions and orders which are designated as not citable as precedent shall not be employed or cited as precedent. This does not preclude assertion of issues of claim preclusion, issue preclusion, judicial estoppel, law of the case or the like based on a decision of the Court rendered in a nonprecedential opinion or order. Charles R. CALIRE, Petitioner, v. OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, Respondent. Appeal No. 87-3150. United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit. June 15, 1987. Before MARKEY, Chief Judge, RICH, Circuit Judge, and BALDWIN, Senior Circuit Judge. PER CURIAM. [1] The decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board in No. CH08318610487, dismissing the appeal as untimely, is affirmed. The petitioner filed his appeal approximately 40 days after the 20-day appeal period had expired without any explanation. See 5 CFR 1201.22(b); 1201.12. The administrative judge's decision not to waive the time limit was not arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, unsupported by the evidence, or otherwise not in accordance with law. 5 USC 7703(c); see Sheeran v. Merit Sys. Protection Bd., 746 F.2d 806, 807 (Fed.Cir.1984); Phillips v. United States Postal Serv., 695 F.2d 1389, 1390-91 (Fed.Cir.1982).
