The client received a notice of proposed removal for allegations of serious misconduct. The client was a federal Special Agent with the Department of Housing and Urban Development. A written response was prepared on behalf of a client to the agency, and an oral reply was conducted with the deciding official.
The agency sustained the proposed removal, and the client was removed from federal service approximately one week before Christmas.
Upon resuming representation after the government shutdown, an appeal was filed with the MSPB on the client’s behalf. During the litigation portion of the discovery phase of the appeal, the agency completely RESCINDED the removal action. The client received all back pay and benefits. The client was restored to full duty in his law enforcement position.
