Jason LEICHTMAN, Petitioner, v. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, Respondent.
    No. 2010-3174.
    United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
    Dec. 8, 2010.
    Before LOURIE, MAYER, and DYK, Circuit Judges.
   DYK, Circuit Judge.

ORDER

The Department of Justice moves to waive the requirements of Fed. Cir. R. 27(f) and to dismiss Jason Leichtman’s petition for review for lack of jurisdiction. Liechtman moves to reform the official caption.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons suspended Leichtman for three days from his position as a corrections officer for on-duty and off-duty conduct. Leichtman challenged his suspension through the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service under the negotiated grievance procedure. The arbitrator rescinded Leichtman’s suspension but denied his claim for attorney fees. Leichtman petitioned this court for review.

This court’s jurisdiction to review arbitrator’s decisions is limited to matters that fall -within the provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 4303 and § 7512. 5 U.S.C. § 7121. Leichtman’s three-day suspension and related attorney fees claim are not covered under § 7512 or § 4303. Therefore, Leichtman may not seek review of the arbitrator’s decision in this court.

Accordingly,

It Is Ordered That:

(1) The motion to reform the caption is denied.

(2) The Department’s motions are granted. The petition for review is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

(3) Each side shall bear its own costs.
