The client, a Special Agent with the US Department of Justice, received a notice of proposed removal for allegations of misconduct, including false statements and lack of candor. The client was removed from the agency.
Pursuant to a full MSPB appeal hearing, the court issued a decision overturning the removal and not sustaining the allegations of false statement and lack of candor, in addition to other allegations of misconduct.
The client was immediately reinstated to his position. The agency appealed to the MSPB decision overturning the removal. The full board of the MSPB SUSTAINED THE INITIAL DECISION. The appellant received all relief he was entitled to, including full attorney fees, costs, and other relief pursuant to the Back Pay Act.
