United States Federal Circuit
Rocha v. Merit Sys. Prot. Bd., 12-3087
A final order of the Merit Systems Protection Board (Board) dismissing a petition for review as untimely, arising from a finding by an administrative judge that the Board had no jurisdiction over petitioner's appeal because he was serving under an excepted service appointment in the Federal Career Intern Program at the time of his termination, is affirmed as the Board did not abuse its discretion in refusing to allow the petitioner to file his petition for review more than five months after the filing deadline.
