II. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND THE COURSE OF

PROCEEDINGS BELOW.
On November 16,2013, Mr. Johnson filed an appeal with the Board

Specifically, Mr. Johnson alleged that he was involuntarily transferred from
HHS to GSA in 2001. RA 15. After the transfer, Mr. Johnson alleged that
his health deteriorated at GSA because of stress. Id. He also noted that his
"initial case...filed through the EEOC as a rcciaI discrimination case...was
denied" and that senior management took improper actions against him in
connection with his work identifying cost savings to GSA. Id. Finally, he
indicated that he could now validate his prior military service based on his
military records. Id
On December 2, 2013, the administrative judge issued ar

acknowledgment order informing Mr. Johnson that the Board might not have
jurisdiction over his appeal based on the "numerous problems...[he
identifiedl...with GSA and HHS beginning in 200I...," and that his appeal
appeared untimely since none of the actions occurred within the last 30
days. RA 18-19. The administrative judge also informed Mr. Johnson that
he bore the burden of proof on the jurisdictional and timeliness issues,
ordered him to file evidence and argument accordingly, and indicated the
record would close on December 27,2013. RA 19.
In response, ofl or about January 6, 2014, Mr. Johnson filed
documents that he believed alleged that he was involuntarily transferred
from HHS to GSA and included a copy of a GAO report, dated December

1999, concerning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Administration
Facility. RA 3l-38, 46. On January 7 , 2014, Mr. Johnson submitted further
documents concerning various issues during his federal employment,
including but not limited to his transfer to GSA, harassment, "overcharged
contracts," health issues that "raised life threatening concerns," and design
flaws in a federal building located in College Park, Maryland. RA 49-5I
He also discussed prior Board appeals that were filed in 2000 and 2001. RA
77. Neither pleading was served on the agency. RA 78-79. Consequently,
on January 10, 2014, the administrative judge served the pleadings to

facilitate the processing of the appeal, but noted fhat arry further
submissions without proper service would be rejected. Id.
Despite the record closing on December 27, 2014, Mr. Johnson filed
additional documents on February 24,2014 that he asserted were served on
the agency. RA 80-84. On February 27,2014, the agency filed a motion to
strike the untimely frling. RA 85
Initial Decision - March 7. 2014
On March 7,2014, the administrative judge issued an Initial Decision
dismissing Mr.Johnson's appeal for lack of jurisdiction. RA 1. According

to the administrative judge, "[i]t is not clear what the appellant is attempting
to appeal or why he believes the Board has any authority to address his

complaints." RA 3. Despite an opportunity to do so, the administrative
judge found that Mr. Johnson failed to articulate any basis for the Board's
jurisdiction as set forth in the acknowledgement order. RA 3. In reaching

the decision to dismiss Mr. Johnson' appeal, the administrative judge did
not consider his February 24,2014 submission because it was untimely and
"...was not responsive to the issues set forth in the acknowledgement
order." Moreover, the administrative judge concluded that she did not need
to address the untimeliness of his appeal because the Board was without
jurisdiction in this matter and "he did not explain the basis for his appeal or
the reasons for his years-long deIay." RA 3
The Initial Decision became the Board's Final decision on April 11,
2014, because Mr. Johnson did not file a petition for review.
An appeal to this Court followed.

2. Did the MSPB incorrectly decide or fail to take into account anv
facts?
No. Mr. Johnson alleges that the Board failed to consider
"information contained in the GAO report titled FDA Facility Requirements
for Building on a Floodplain Met." Petitioner's Brief (PB), Question No. 2
However, this is incorrect. Mr. Johnson provided a copy of this report in his
January 6, 2014 submission, and all other relevant facts were properly
considered by the administrative judge. RA 31-38. The report was
published in December 1999. RA 31. Therefore, the report and any
information contained therein were readily available to Mr. Johnson during
his appeal and the administrative judge considered it when she dismissed his
appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
J Did the MSPB apply the wrong law?

No. It is well-established that the Board does not have jurisdiction
over all actions that are alleged to be incorrect. Marren v. Dep't. of Justice,
49 M.S.P.R. 45, 51 (Fed. Cir. 1991). Rather, the Board's jurisdiction is
limited to those matters over which jurisdiction specifically has been
granted by law, rule, or regulation. Prewitt v. Merit Sys. Prot. Bd., 133 F.3d
885,886 (Fed. Cir. 1998). The burden rests on the employee to establish
that the Board has jurisdiction. 5 C.F.R. S 1201.56(a)(2)(; Stern v. Dep't.

(1e8s)
Here, the administrative judge's acknowledgment order provided Mr.
Johnson an opportunity to establish the Board's jurisdiction through the

submission of evidence and argument. RA 18-19. Mr. Johnson simply
failed to take advantage of this opportunity. To establish the Board's
jurisdiction, Mr. Johnson submitted evidence on two dates (i.e., January 6,
2014 and January 7, 2014) that failed to explain or establish a nonfrivolous
issue of fact relating to jurisdiction. Wilson v, Merit Sys. Prot. 8d.,807 F.
2d 1577, 1583 (Fed. Cir. 1986). Moreover, the evidence is not remotely
relevant or related to any actions that could establish the Board's

jurisdiction. For example, Mr, Johnson's evidence addresses his allegations
that he was involuntarily transferred from HHS to GSA in 200I. An
employee that transfers between federal agencies is not an appealabie action
to the Board. 5 C.t.R. S 1201 .3.
In sum, the administrative judge correctly concluded that "[i]t is not

clear what the appellant is attempting to appeal or why he believes he Board
has any authority to address his complaints." RA 3. He simply "did not
explain the basis for his appeal..." despite being provided an opportunity to
do so in the acknowledgement order. Id. On appeal, Mr. Johnson provides

no basis to disturb the administrative judge's decision to dismiss his appeal
for lack of jurisdiction. Accordingly, the administrative judge's decision
should be affirmed
4. Did the MSPB fail to consider im n ortant srounds for relief?

No. The administrative judge considered applicable statutes,
regulations, and case law, and found that Mr. Johnson did not make a
nonfrivolous allegation of fact relating to jurisdiction. Mr. Johnson
contends that the administrative judge failed to consider evidence of

harassment for whistleblowing. PB, Question 3 and 4. This contention is
meritless because it is vague and conclusory. The administrative judge
properly concluded that Mr. Johnson failed to make clear what he was
attempting to appeal or why he believed that the Board had any authority to
address his complaints. RA 3. The administrative judge therefore properly
dismissed his appeal without holding a jurisdictional hearing. See Garca v.
Dep't. of Homeland 9ec.,437 F.3d 1322, 1330 (Fed. Cir. 2006). (Petitioner
entitled to a hearing only if he makes a nonfrivolous allegation that, if
proven, can establish the Board's jurisdiction).
5 Are there other reasons whv the MSPB's deciston was wrons?
No. The administrative judge's decision complies with applicable
statutes, regulations, and case law. Mr. Johnson contends his February 24,

Administrative Judge
INITIAL DECISION
The appellant filed art appeal of a variety of problems that occurred in

200I. He stated that he had retired from Federal service in Juiy 2009. For the
following reasons, the appeal is DISMISSED for lack of Board jurisdiction.
BACKGROUNI)
The appellant' s allegations in his petition for appeal involve at least two
different agencies and occurred more than 13 years ago. It was not clear what he
was alleging or what he was trying to appeal. See Appeal File (AF), Tab 1
(appeal form at blocks 4, 7). In a supplemental ftling, he attached documents
showing that he had prior military service during the Korean War, prior Federal
service, and por contacts with the Board and the Office of Special Counsel in

2002 ar1d 2004. AF, Tab 2. Still, nothing in his submission identified what
action he was appealing or any basis for the Board's jurisdiction over this matter.
I issued an acknowledgment order on December 2,2013, informing the appellant
that it did not appear that the Board had jurisdiction over his appeal or that it had
been timely filed. AF, Tab 3. I invited the appellant to submit additional
evidence and argument showing some basis for the Board's jurisdiction over this
matter and that good cause existed for his untimely fiIing. Id.
The appellant responded by filing numerous pleadings that he refused to
serve on the agerLcy, despite my issuance of four Failure To Serve orders. AF,
Tabs i-II. One of these unserved submissions is in the record atTab 7 and does
not respond to the issues raised in my acknowledgment order. Instead it
discusses matters that occurred when in the 1980s and 1990s, as well as prior
Board appeals he brought in 2000 and 2001. He alluded in another unserved
filing to an "involuntary transfe " from the Food and Drug Administration to the
General Services Administration in 1989 or 1990. AF, Tab 6. I had this filing
served on the agecy with a warning to the appellant Lhal any further filings that
were not accompanied by a certificate of service showing that he had served them
on the agecy would be rejected. Nevertheless the appellant continued to submit
pleadings without serving them on the agency. These pleadings were rejected and
returned to him. Eventually, he submitted some documents that he asserted had
been served on the agency, but this filing was not received until February 24,
2014, and the record on the jurisdictional and timeliness issues had closed on
December 27,2013. AF, Tabs 3, 1.2. The agency filed a motion to strike the
pleading as untimely filed without permission or explan'ation. AF, Tab 13.

M.S.P.R. 45 , 5L (1991), and that the appellant has the burden of proving that the
Board has jurisdiction over his appeaI,5 C.F.R. $ 1201.56(a)(2). Allegations of
discrimination, standing alone, are not appealable to the Board. See Wren v.
Departrnent of the Army, 2 M.S.P.R. 1, 2 (1980). It is not clear what the
appellant is attempting to appeal or why he believes the Board has any authority
to address his complaints. The appellant is complaining of events that occurred
decades ago. He noted in his petition for appealthat he retired in July 2009, so
there cannot have been arLy appealable action taken against him at least since that
time. The appellant did not explain the basis for his appeal or the reasons for his
years-long delay in bringing this appeal. He refused to follow my instructions
and the Board's regulations regarding service of pleadings on the other party. He
did not request an extension of any filing deadline or provide any reason why he
could not follow the instructions set forth in my acknowledgment order and
numerous failure to serve orders. I have thus not considered his filing received in
February 24, 2014, since it came two months after the record in this matter had
closed, and in any event was not responsive to the issues set forth in the
acknowledgment order.
The appellant has not articulated any basis for the Board's jurisdiction over
this matter. Since he stated thathe retired from Federal service in July 2009, it is
unclear what kind of claim he could be bringing at this late date. As I informed
the appellant in my acknowledgment order, unless one or more of the actions
listed in the Board's regulations at 5 C.F.R. $ 1201.3(a) has been taken against
him, he cannot raise the matters he complains of in this forum. Because of the
lack of any basis for the Board's jurisdiction in this matter, I need not address the
additional problem of the untimeliness of this appeal.
Because the appellant failed to raise nonfrivolous issues of fact telating to
jurisdiction, he is not entitled to a hearing in his case. See Wilson v. Merit
systems Protecton Board,807 F.2d L577, 1583 (Fed. cir. 1986).

Criteria for Grantine a Petition or Cross Petition for Review

Pursuant to 5 C.F.R. $ 1201.115, the Board normally will consider only
issues raised in a timely f,tled petition or coss petition for review. Situations in
which the Board may grat a petition or cross petition for review include, but are
not iimitedto, a'showing that:
(a) The initial decision contains erroneous findings of material fact. (1)
Any alleged factual error must be material, meaning of sufficient weight to
warant an outcome different from that of the initial decision. (2) A petitioner
who alleges that the judge made erroneous findings of mateiaT fact must explain
why the challenged factual determination is incorrect and identify specific
evidence in the record that demonstrates the error. In reviewing a claim of an
erroneous finding of fact, the Board will give deference to an administrative
judge's credibility determinations when they are based, explicitly or implicitly,
on the observation of the demeanor of witnesses testifying at ahearing.
(b) The initial decision is based on an erroneous interpretation of statute or
regulation or the erroneous application of the law to the facts of the case. The
petitioner must explain how the error affected the outcome of the case.
(c) The judge's rulings during either the course of the appeal or the initial
decision were not consistent with required procedures or involved an abuse of
discretion, and the resulting error affected the outcome of the case.

4. Describe the retirement decision or action you are appealing.
I have had numerous and outrageous problems with GSA that haven't been corrected and shouldn't have happened. ln 2001 I
had an involuntary transfer to GSA from HHS. I was paid as a grade 13 at HHS but as a grade 12 at GSA. At GSA I received a
lot of stress and my health deteriorated due to the harassment I received at my job. I endured a lot of stress and mistakes by
the administration that need to be corrected. I have saved lhe government significant amounts of money in both agencies.
I had an initial case that was filed through the EEOC as a racial discrimination case. My case was denied because they said
that I did not prove a "Prima Facie" case and referenced several cases of law that were used to emphasize their point. This is
not totally correct as my case is not totally a racial motivated issue. However I firmly believe that this was the route that they
desired that I pursue, but this is not all of the circumstances placed against me while employed in the federal government.
I utilized the Federal Acquisiton Regulation to my advantage while working for the government in order to gain leverage wth
many of the contractors that I dealt with in the government. I saved a total of 3.5 million dollars as a result of my tenacious
work in the federal sector while examining contracts and scrutinizing costs. I firmly believe that this is the primary reason that
actions were laken against me. There were situations that existed in the agency at that time that consisted of friendships and

Merit System Protection Board as a result of actions that were improperly taken against me. I was not afforded protections
from senior management as a result of making this appeal at GSA. This is unlawful as the law atfords me protection under the
Whistleblowers Protection Act. This happened during the years of administration of John P Allen director and later Sharon
Banks. This case was reopened as a result of these two administrators. I couldn't validate my military service as proof of being
a Korean war vet that served honorably because my documents that showed proof were destroyed in a fire , I recently
received validations after a few years of requesting this information. These documents will be attached along with the money I
helped save.

The regulations require that the parties attempt to resolve a discovery

dispute before filing a motion to compel with me. Thus, the party who disputes
the other's compliance must discuss the anticipated motion with the other party,
and they both must make a good faith effort to resolve the dispute and narrow
their disagreement. They must also include with any motion a statement
indicating that they have complied with this requirement. 5 C.F.R.

(2) All pleadings must be f,rled by the date set by me or the Board's
regulations. The date of filing is the date your submission is postmarked,
faxed, the date of electronic submission if you e-file, or the date of
receipt if you personally deliver it to the Board's regional office.
Extensions of filing dates will only be granted if requested in writing and
if good cause is shown. A continuance of a hearing date will be
granted only if requested in writing in accordance with the Board's
regulation at 5 C.F.R. S 1201.51(c), which requires an affidavit or
sworn statement, and if you are able to show extraordinary
circumstances.
(3) All pleadings must be served upon opposing parties and their
representatives, must be accompanied by a certificate of service stating
(a) the names and addresses of the parties served; (b) the manner of
service (personally delivered, mailed, faxed, or electronic delivery); and
(c) the date of service. A certificate of service is attached to this Order
and lists the names and addresses of the parties who must be served in
this case. The attached certificate of service constitutes a model which
you may follow in preparing y our own certificate of service. The Board
may reject a submission that does not have a certificate of service. If you
register as an e-filr, a certificate of service will be prepared
automatically as part of the pleading you file online.
Pleadines Submitted in Hardcopy
When a pleading submitted by postal mail, fax, personal or commercial

. delivery includes three or more documentary attachments, the attachments should
be "tabbed." A "tab" is a dividing page, a portion of which extends beyond the
normal 8% inch width of the paper, and which contains a description or label.
When such a pleading is submitted via fax, each page of the attachments should
be sequentially numbered and the attachments should be preceded by a table of
contents describing each attachment and indicating the page on which it starts.
Special instructions for preparing the Agency's response to the appeal under
5 C.F.R. $ 120L25 are included below.
4ll documents within a tab must have new page numbers (by hand if
necessary) so that each document, within each tab, is re-numbered, from the first
page of the first document to the last page of the last document. This will allow
for specific page references to the record, by tab and by page number within a

tab. The new page numbers should be placed in the bottom right-hand margin of
each page. If some pages within a tab are aheady numbered in the bottom-right
margin, parties should place the new page numbers just to the right of the original
page numbers.
Pleadines Submitted via e-Appeal Online
Electronic bookmarks and tables of contents take the place of physical

'When
"Tabs" in pleadings filed by traditional means. an e-filed pleading
contains three or more electronic supporting documents, each attachment must be
identified, either by filling out the table for such attachments at e-Appeal Online,
or by uploading the supporting documents in the form of one or more PDF files in
which each attachment is bookmarked. 5 C.F.R. $ 1201.1a(gX3).
Regardless of whether it is uploaded or entered online, each pleading will
be assembled into a single PDF document; which will include all electronic
attachments, and will contain sequential page numbers. E-filers need not
manually paglnate their pleadings and atlachments.
Pleadings are subject to a 10 megabyl.e size limit. To avoid exceeding this
limit, e-filers are encouraged to scan documents in black and white and to adjust
settings to limit frle- size. If what would otherwise be a single pleading must be
broken into multiple pleadings because of the size limit, each should contain the
same descriptive title, together with a "Part" designation in parenthesss, e.9.,
Agency File (Part A), Agency File (Part B), etc.

NOTICE TO THE PARTIES

SETTLEMENT
The Board strongly encourages the settlement of the appeals that come
before it. Even where discussions between the parties do not result in settlement,
they often help to define the issues and assist the parties in agreeing to
stipulations. I therefore urge the parties to contact each other to discuss the
possibility of settlement as early in this proceeding as possible. I am available to
assist in the discussions. The parties should discuss concrete, specific settlement

proposals unless either party concludes in good faith that no compromise of any
kind is possible. They must also be prepared to discuss with me the status of any
settlement discussions. See 5 C.F.R. $ 1201.41(bXl2) (the administrative judge
is authorized to "[h]old prehearing conferences for the settlement and
simplification of issues").
If the parties agtee to settle this appeal, and to enter the agreement into the
record, the Board will retain the authority to enforce its terms if the Board has
jurisdiction over the appeal. However, if they do not enter the agreement into the
record, or if jurisdiction has not been determined, the Board will have no
authority to enforce the agreement.

Subjct: Hrassrnent endured from both FDA anrl GsA
Please refer to Docket #: DC-3443-U0150-I-1, letter addressed to SenatorJohn Warner lncludlng HHS's
rspoflse, docto/s leners.
I have received the t{HS response ln regards to nly cese. ln thls agenry statement dated July 3, ZOQ,
lHS stated that "l was orlnatly employed at GSA, was transferred to the Department of Health and
l{uman Services and FDA when the bufldlng operailons were delegated." That statement is not true. ln
1986, I began ernplqyment wlth the Health and Hunan Serulces; my performance rating at tht time
was a WL'13.
Between f989-1990, I appled for a position at FDA s a tchncal bufldlng sarylce specialis I began
FY
employment es a G5'12. I worked closely with scientists at the FDA, as well as CFSAN at FOB 8. To my
knowledge, I had an outstanding work perforrnan, lt exceeded settsfa{t0ry, Ths nvoluntarily transfer
to GSA fs found not to be In accordance wfth OPM Regulations, What raid the objections in the
agency's decision to transfer me n be nated in thE above referenced document. 9 CFSAN sclentists
reviewed the floor pfan for the College park facility. They ndicated that the buldlng woutd not be large
enough to eccommodate allthe neds and operational functions of the goverhmentagencies. They also
found that the site where the bullding war belng constructed wat in the wet lands. We spoke with the
Speaker of e House concerning thls marter. The speaker of the House me wlth rhe cFsAN sclentists
and assigned his legal staff to report the shortcomlngs of not being abfe t0 fllthe deslgned spaca As a
result, they had to rent space from the UniverslW of Maryland to accommodate the mass spec
labgralory. This was necessn/ because of the locatlon of the uildln deslgn; rnany changes would
have to e rtde n order to rnake the facility operational. Due to mV observatlon, and whistle blowng
actvfty, t led to the nvgtuntarily lrnrfer to GSA, This is !o statcd n the above dcument, "Mr.
Iohnson rased concems regarding the open design of the College park butldlng."

employment at the FDA. ln 20OO I was awarded a pr.omotion to GS-13 byJudge Clancy, I was paid as a

applled for several posltions in GSAfor G5-13, each time I was denfed even though my performance
standards exceeded expectttion. ln one lnstence, ln 2OO7 I applfed for a postion at College Park as a GS-
13. FDA sent rpresentatlve and the evaluation of the posltlon I applied. FDA was a part of the
selection commlttee; I wos denfod the opportunity to serve t College Fark. The candldate that was
selected was later lnvolved in brlbery and removed from th potlton at College Park. I ws harssed on
the job continuously from the begf nnlng to th end of my employment at GSA due to my whistleblowlng
efforts to teduce federal couts, My dsctors sent letters tc the Regional Managers of G4, whch I wll

life-threatening concerns; h ls well documented t GSA.
Additionafty, as a result of my reporting gv?rFrlclng GSA contracts to the lG and Fgt, the Merlt

cases, They only requested my mifitary records, whch were not redly availsble but I submitted them in
2013 after my rllrement. I am requesting that the Mefit Protectlon Eoard submt ther fincfngs to 54

Subject: Harassment endured from both FDA and GSA
pfease refer to Docket #: DC-3443-L4415G1-1, letter addressed to SenatorJohn Warner including HHSs
response, doctot's letters.
I have receivedthe HHS response in regards to my case. ln this agency statement dated July 3,2W2,
HHS stated that "l was originally employed at GSA" was transferred to the Department of Health and
Human Services and FDA when the building operatons were delegated." That statement is not trge. In
1986, I began employment with the Health and Human Services; my performance rating at thattte
=a
was a WL-13.
Between 1989-1990, I appl'ed for a position at FDA as a technical

FY
employment as a G912. I worked closely with scientists at the FDA'

knowledge, I had an outstandingwork performance, it exceeded sati r
to GSA is found not to be in accordance with OPM Regulations. What raised the objections in the
agenq/s decision to transfer me can be noted in the above referenced document. 9 CFSAN scientists
reviewed the floor plan for the College park facility. They indicated that the building would not be large
enough to accommodate allthe needs and operationalfunctions of the government agencies. They also
found that the site where the building was being constructed was in the wet lands. We spoke with the
Speaker of the House concerning this matter. The speaker of the House met with the CFSAN scientists
and assigned his legal staff to report the shortcomings of not being able to fillthe designed space. As a
result, they had to rent space from the Univercity of Maryland to accommodate the mass spec
laboratory. This was necessary because of the location of the building design; many changes would
have to be made in order to make the facility operational. Due to my observation, and whistle blowing
activity, it led to the involuntarily transfer to GSA. This is also stated in the above document. "Mr.
Johnson raised concerns regarding the open design of the College park building."

Additionalln I am a victim of civil dghts violations and unfafu labor practices. As

such, I have frled complaints with GSA's EEO Office and the Merit Systems
Protection Board (MSPB). In September 2005 and 2006,Paul Hickey was
brought into manage the Arlington Metro Service Center as a GS-13. I was not
aware of an announcement for the position and was surprised to find that I was
not considered a potential candida for the position since I possessed the most
background knowledge of the operations. Mr. Hickey worked for2-3 months on
a regular basis, and then his attendance became very sporadic with long absences
and when he did come in, it would be for only a couple of hours. During the
entire tim.e that lvfr. Hickey was employed in this center. I ran the center and
handled all of the requests coming into the center. During the early part of
January 2007,Mr. Hickey began a more regular attendance and said he would be
running the center. I spoke to Michael Downey and Michel Castle and voice my
objecton since I had been running the center over two yeafs without any
promotion o sange inpay compensation.
Also, the facts are I have been working with the NSF projects lighting and HVAC
deficiencies since 2004. GSA since 2003120C4 I was emoved from the project
svral times by Mr. Drtonovia andMr. Michaet Castle, Mr. Michael Downey
and Mr. Paul Hickey. This is a clea violation of my civil rights. Just recently
drning the month of January 2007 , a new associate was assigned to take over a
projet $20t Willon Blvd, Arlingfon, VA, NS for which I had completed all
ihe preliminary work. Furthermore, I was in the negotiating stages of settling a
dispute that would reconcile the lost of a milliol of federal dollars' After raised
objictions Mr. Peter Arend reassigned me back to the lighting Projectr Listed

During fiscal years 200512006D007, I tried to submitto GSA Metopolitan

Service Center a documented plan to reduce federal cost. My efforts failed due to
the objections of former Director John P Allen, Shaon Banl<s, and Michael

on this meeting.

previous Attourey General. Ashcroft's Office has reviewed the situation and
referred the complaints I submiued the GSA's IG Dept., as well as the Dept. of
Civil Rights that have fallen on death eas. I forwarded these allegations to U. S
Congress on January 6,2004. It see.ns that no one is willing to take a stand and
that each deparhent or division keeps handing the ball offto the next division.
The elients at the above agencies can confim the above performances.
The EEO conducted an informal mediation meeting on June 7,2007 in an attempt

to resolve the past Civil Rigbt Violations. Mi. Michael Downey, my immediate

the differences with his superiors and to it has caused difficulties for him. Ms.

During April 2007,I applied again for the caeer appointuent GS13 position that
was advertised for a GSA Supervisor at the College Park facility. I was given an
interview by Carl Vottler, GSA Branch Manager, who assembled the selection
panel v/ith GSA associates and FDA manager, Ray. Banks. I was advised by Mr.
Vottler that Mr. Marc Rappaport made the selection for the vacant position I was
again denied promotion to a supervisory position I believe the discrimination
dates back my reporting wrongdoings at the FDA.
The injustice continues here at my work place. It is rmbelievable that the only
alternative would be for me to bring these issues to Congressional Oversight for
wasteful qpending. Upper management at GSA has prevented any t.pe of

Dear Senator V/arnec
Thankyou for the letter lnlay o your constitueng Mr. Jobnson,

regarding a Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Age'ncy) facilty aod the status of his
employment
Prior to occryrng its new building in College Padq Maryland, FDA's Ce,nter for Food Safety
and Applied Nutrition (CFSA occupied Federal Building 8 in Washington, D.C. FDA
operad the facilityunder a delegation from the General Serviees Administation (GSA) ftom
1985 rntil 2001, wheir CFSAN began ib relocation from Federl Building 8.
GSA's policy for the lrmsfer of building qration authority incfuded transferring back to fte
Agencyap criHforbuildingopeiations, Thistrsfer
intue as needed to aaintain the building. Such was
. the condition of Mr. Johnson's e,mploroent wi EDA- He was originally employed by GS.at
wri transfered to the Departuent of Health and Human Services md FDA whe,n thebuilding's
operations were delegad, and then tansferred back whe,n tbe Agency released its delegation to
GSA and took occupancy of the College Park building;
Mr- Jobnson also raised concerrui regaating the open des of the College Park laboratory
facility- The design of the laboratory was created by one of the fotemost laboratory phnning
fias in the country, GPR, in conjunction nrith the architecal firm ofKallmarq MgKinnell and
Wood Architects. The design was a'resft of a collaborative effort with a task force of senior
CFSAII scientifi.cpersonnel andmanagers. The ope,n designrfuas selected as thepreferred
configuration fter visiting other state-of-the-art facilities used by industry, governme,nt md

There was some detay afrer occupancy with the use of some of the scientific eipment
because of specific requiremen for the electrical outlet configuration- In many cases this
occurred because the equipment was purchased after the final design was completed or whe,n
a program and its was relocatd from one location to another area in the laboratory
dnring te construction gfthe falty. Part of the objective in good laboratory design,
houiever, is to have flxibility to acconmodate various chmgwiout
requiring major renovafioni- The College Padc laboratory is a model for tis level of
flexibility as the necessary changes have been accomplished as part of the move-in process.

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD,

RESPONDENT'S INF'ORMAL BRIEF AND APPENDIX

I. NATURE OF THE CASE.

Merit Systems Protection Board ("MSPB" or "Board") dismissing his appeal

for lack of jurisdiction. Tnhncn r Tlen'f r fH e.A I th en H rlnn Serr

MSPB Docket No. DC-3443-I4-0I50-I-1 (Initial Decision, March 7, 2014).

Respondent's Appendix (RA) 1-8.

II. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND THE COURSE OF

concerning various allegations arising from his federal employment at the

General Services Administration (GSA) and the Department of Health and

Human Services (HHS) prior to his retirement in July 2009. RA 14-16.

Specifically, Mr. Johnson alleged that he was involuntarily transferred from

"initial case...filed through the EEOC as a rcciaI discrimination case...was

On December 2, 2013, the administrative judge issued ar

jurisdiction over his appeal based on the "numerous problems...[he

he bore the burden of proof on the jurisdictional and timeliness issues,

record would close on December 27,2013. RA 19.

In response, ofl or about January 6, 2014, Mr. Johnson filed

documents that he believed alleged that he was involuntarily transferred

1999, concerning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Administration

Facility. RA 3l-38, 46. On January 7 , 2014, Mr. Johnson submitted further

documents concerning various issues during his federal employment,

including but not limited to his transfer to GSA, harassment, "overcharged

flaws in a federal building located in College Park, Maryland. RA 49-5I

77. Neither pleading was served on the agency. RA 78-79. Consequently,

on January 10, 2014, the administrative judge served the pleadings to

additional documents on February 24,2014 that he asserted were served on

the agency. RA 80-84. On February 27,2014, the agency filed a motion to

strike the untimely frling. RA 85

Initial Decision - March 7. 2014

On March 7,2014, the administrative judge issued an Initial Decision

dismissing Mr.Johnson's appeal for lack of jurisdiction. RA 1. According

complaints." RA 3. Despite an opportunity to do so, the administrative

jurisdiction as set forth in the acknowledgement order. RA 3. In reaching

"...was not responsive to the issues set forth in the acknowledgement

the reasons for his years-long deIay." RA 3

An appeal to this Court followed.

Counsel for the Respondent is unaware of any other cases. However,

"information contained in the GAO report titled FDA Facility Requirements

for Building on a Floodplain Met." Petitioner's Brief (PB), Question No. 2

information contained therein were readily available to Mr. Johnson during

appeal for lack of jurisdiction.

J Did the MSPB apply the wrong law?

49 M.S.P.R. 45, 51 (Fed. Cir. 1991). Rather, the Board's jurisdiction is

limited to those matters over which jurisdiction specifically has been

that the Board has jurisdiction. 5 C.F.R. S 1201.56(a)(2)(; Stern v. Dep't.

Here, the administrative judge's acknowledgment order provided Mr.

Johnson an opportunity to establish the Board's jurisdiction through the

2014 and January 7, 2014) that failed to explain or establish a nonfrivolous

issue of fact relating to jurisdiction. Wilson v, Merit Sys. Prot. 8d.,807 F.

relevant or related to any actions that could establish the Board's

that he was involuntarily transferred from HHS to GSA in 200I. An

employee that transfers between federal agencies is not an appealabie action

to the Board. 5 C.t.R. S 1201 .3.

In sum, the administrative judge correctly concluded that "[i]t is not

has any authority to address his complaints." RA 3. He simply "did not

do so in the acknowledgement order. Id. On appeal, Mr. Johnson provides

no basis to disturb the administrative judge's decision to dismiss his appeal

for lack of jurisdiction. Accordingly, the administrative judge's decision

4. Did the MSPB fail to consider im n ortant srounds for relief?

nonfrivolous allegation of fact relating to jurisdiction. Mr. Johnson
