In Re William B. Jolley

Paid petition

Certiorari denied · January 8, 2024
Pre-decision estimate: 0% cert probability

Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate: the model weighted this down for a self-represented petitioner.

Question presented

Do Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) decisions of Veteran and Whistleblower appeals fail for lack of “due process” where 5 C.F.R. f 1201.57(d), states “the Board will not consider matters described at 5 U.S.C. | 7701(c)(2) in an appeal covered by this section.”?
