United States Federal Circuit

Dismissal of an action brought by a putative class of over 300 former sailors, challenging the Navy's implementation of an Enlisted Retention Board (ERB) that resulted in their honorable discharges is affirmed, where: 1) plaintiffs' merit-based challenges are nonjusticiable; and 2) the Court of Federal Claims properly determined that the Navy's implementation of the ERB did not exceed its statutory authority, ignore the required procedural regulations, violate minimum concepts of basic fairness, or run afoul of the Equal Protection Clause.
