United States Federal Circuit

In this case, the Merit Systems Protection Board determined that the Department of Labor had good cause for its decision to furlough its administrative law judges (ALJs) for a particular length of time in 2013. Judgment is affirmed, where the challenged furlough of ALJs, which was part of a program of furloughs throughout the Department and throughout the federal government, was the result of a neutral, reasonable, statute-based determination about how to implement a government-wide budget sequester.
