summary judgment for the reasons set forth in its November 14, 2016 Order in Favor of

Defendant’s Cross Motion for Summary Judgment. For the reasons stated more fully in the

Court’s November 14, 2016 Order, Public Law Board 7680 did not exceed its jurisdiction (1) by

refusing to award Plaintiff back pay; and/or (2) by failing to find that the March 12, 2013

disciplinary hearing against Plaintiff was untimely. No other grounds exist to vacate the Award.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED THAT

JUDGMENT IS HEREBY ENTERED in favor of Defendant National Railroad Passenger

Corporation and against Plaintiff Tim Elam. The action of Plaintiff against Defendant is

dismissed in its entirety with prejudice. Plaintiff shall take nothing as a result of his action and

Defendant is entitled to recover its costs, according to law.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
