United States Federal Circuit
Chambers v. Dep't of the Interior, 09-3120
Decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board, affirming petitioner's removal from her position as the Chief of the United States Park Police, arising from certain conversation with a House Representative and the Washington Post reporter concerning underfunding of the U.S. Park Police, is affirmed as to charges 3.5 and 6, but Board's decision to sustain charge 2 is reversed and remanded for the Board to reconsider whether removal remains a reasonable penalty and whether the agency has presented clear and convincing evidence that it would have taken the same personnel actions against petitioner based on the sustained charges in the absence of her protected disclosures.
