The Federa1 Bureau of Prisons suspended Leicht1nan
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 Conci1ia-
ti0n SerVice under the negotiated grievance procedure.

LEICHTMAN v. JUSTICE 2
The arbitrator rescinded Leichtman’s suspension but
denied his claim for attorney fees. Leichtman petitioned
this court for review.

sions is limited to matters that fall within the provisions

man’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 deci-
sion in this court.

(2) The Department’s motions are granted _The peti-
tion for review is dismissed for 1ack of jurisdiction _
