Policy Statement on Stays of Personnel Actions

The U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) may seek stays of personnel actions in complaints 

alleging prohibited personnel practices or other prohibited activities. 

Stay Criteria

Generally, OSC may consider requesting a stay of a personnel action against an employee

from an agency or from the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) when: (1) OSC has reasonable

grounds to believe that a personnel action that was taken or will be taken constitutes a prohibited 

personnel practice; and (2) absent a stay, the employee will be subjected to immediate and

substantial harm, such as removal, suspension for more than 14 days, or geographic reassignment.

“Reasonable grounds” means sufficient evidence for a reasonable person, with the same information

and knowledge of the applicable law, to believe that a prohibited personnel practice has been or will 

be committed. Because a stay is designed to provide OSC with time to conduct an investigation, a

stay may be granted on the basis of preliminary information. 

In addition, the Special Counsel, in his or her sole discretion, may petition the MSPB to stay a 

personnel action if it would be appropriate and consistent with OSC’s statutory mission. An agency

also may, in its own discretion, decide to stay a personnel action pending an OSC investigation.

Stay Procedure 

At any time, a complainant may request a stay of a personnel action, or the investigation 

itself may uncover facts that suggest a stay is warranted. In such circumstances, OSC will promptly 

review the file based on the above criteria. After reviewing the relevant information, OSC will 

decide whether to seek a stay in the case. OSC will inform the complainant of the decision as soon 

as practicable. If OSC decides to seek a stay and the agency agrees, OSC will proceed with the 

investigation. If, however, the agency declines to hold the personnel action at issue in abeyance for 

the requested time period, then OSC may petition the MSPB for a stay, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 1214. 

Stay Extensions 

If an agency agrees to stay a personnel action, but the agreed-upon stay period ends before 

OSC completes its investigation, OSC may request an extension of the stay, assuming that the 

criteria for seeking a stay continue to exist. If the agency declines a request for an extension, OSC

may petition the MSPB for a stay, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 1214. 

Note: This policy statement supercedes all prior statements on stays of personnel actions. The statement is not intended to 

create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party against OSC or any other individual or 

entity.

 Build a Better Filter

The oyster is a filter feeder. This means an oyster feeds by straining matter and food particles from 

water, and as a result, helps to filter out sediment and other particles that cloud the water column 

of the Chesapeake Bay. The oyster takes a stream of water into its shell, removes phytoplankton 

(plant plankton) by sucking it into the mouth, and then digesting it inside the stomach. 

In small groups, you will plan and present a diagram for a 

simple filter that will best clean dirty water. Once the 

blueprint has been approved by the instructor, teams 

collect the appropriate materials, build their filter, and 

test it with 2 cups of dirty water. 

Materials we will use:

Material Purpose

Amount of water we filtered in five minutes: ________ ml

Clarity of our filtered water: 

_____bad _____fair _____good 

Reflection: 

1. Did you use ideas from other water filtration systems? 

2. What criteria did you use to determine whether your filter was effective?

3. What were the results of your filtration system?

4. How would you change your design to be more effective?

 Student Data Sheet 2

 Oyster Dissection (From: http://estuaries.noaa.gov/teachers/pdf/06_oysters_tg.pdf)

How does the oyster survive in the intertidal zone? If it’s a marine animal, how does it survive 

out of the water when the tide goes out? And the 

oyster doesn’t move around. It’s attached to the 

rocks or other shells beneath it. So how does the 

oyster get its food? How does it reproduce? 

Procedure

1. Examine the external anatomy of the oyster 

and take notes on the shape, color, and 

texture of the oyster’s shell.

2. Locate the following parts of the oyster 

anatomy on the diagram and on your 

specimen. Write a brief description of each 

part to help you identify the anatomical 

features of an oyster and what the function 

of each body part might be. 

Adductor muscle 

Mantle 

Palps 

Mouth 

Gills 

Cilia 

Heart 

Stomach 

Rectum

Upon consideration, the petitidrt of ap-pellee for rehearing in the above styled and numbered cause is hereby denied.

This Court has heretofore allowed attorney’s fees directly on motion filed by the attorney for the claimant and in accordance with 33 U.S.C.A. § 928. Fidelity & Casualty Co. of New York v. Henderson, 5 Cir., 128 F.2d 1019; Radcliff Gravel Co. v. Henderson, 5 Cir., 138 F.2d 549. In eSich of those cases, however, the judgment of the District Court was affirmed; while in the present case, the judgment is i-eversed and remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with the opinion of this Court. Such further proceedings, we think, should include the allowance of such claims for legal sexwices rendered before the Deputy Commissioner and in the Distinct Court and on appeal as may appear just and proper in accordance with the provisions of 33 U.S. C.A. § 928. Accordingly, the motion for this Court to fix attorney’s fees is denied.

WILLIAM A. DREWRY,

Defendants - Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, at Norfolk. Rebecca B. Smith, District Judge.

(CA-98-529-2)

Submitted: June 17, 1999 Decided: June 24, 1999

Before MURNAGHAN and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior

Circuit Judge.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Zia Razzaq, Appellant Pro Se. Guy Winston Horsley, Jr., Assistant

Attorney General, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).
* Although the district court’s order is marked as “filed” on

November 25, 1998, the district court’s records show that it was

entered on the docket sheet on November 30, 1998. Pursuant to

Rules 58 and 79(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, it is

the date that the oder was entered on the docket sheet that we take

as the effective date of the district court’s decision. See Wilson

v. Murray, 806 F.2d 1232, 1234-35 (4th Cir. 1986).

2

PER CURIAM:

Zia Razzaq appeals the district court’s order granting summary

judgment in favor of the Defendants in this civil rights action

alleging employment discrimination and retaliation. See 42 U.S.C.

§ 2000e-2 (1994); see also 42 U.S.C. §§ 1981 & 1983 (1994). We

have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find

no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of

the district court. See Razzaq v. Old Dominion University, No. CA98-529-2 (E.D. Va. Nov. 30, 1998).* We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
