BURROUGHS V. MSPB 2
The 1\/Ierit Systems Protecti0n Board (MSPB) moves to
dismiss the petition for lack of jurisdiction. Milo
Burroughs replies.
Burroughs petitioned for review of an MSPB decision
that dismissed one of Burroughs’ Veterans Employment
Opportunities Act claims and remanded to the adminis-
trative judge Burroughs’ claims relating to employment
practices.
This court’s review of MSPB decisions is limited to fi-
nal orders or final decisions. See Weed u. Soc. Sec.
Admin., 571 F.3d 1359, 1361-63 (Fed. Cir.2009); see
also 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(9). In Cabot Corp. v. Umlted
States, 788 F.2d 1539, 1542 (Fed. Cir. 1986), we stated the
uncontroversial rule that “an order remanding a matter to
an administrative agency for further findings and pro~
ceedings is not final." See also Patterson u. Office of Pers.
Mgmt., 111 F. App'X 590 (Fed. Cir. 2004). Because
Burroughs’ employment practices claim was remanded to
the administrative judge, the order which he seeks review
of is not final. Mr. Burroughs may, of course, file a notice
of appeal after the MSPB disposes of all claims and enters
a final decision
According1y,
IT ls ORDERED THAT:
The motion to dismiss is granted
