Appeal No. 87-3325
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
Aug. 7, 1987.

Before SMITH, NIES and ARCHER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.

1
The Merit Systems Protection Board (board), in a final decision dated March 5, 1987, docket No. NY07528610450, modifying and affirming the initial decision of the board, dated October 9, 1986, sustained the United States Postal Service's removal of Norton L. Hubbard from his position as a rehabilitation employee/clerk, GS 5/12.  We find the board's final decision to be supported by substantial evidence, and not arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.  5 U.S.C. Sec. 7703(c) (1982); see Hayes v. Department of the Navy, 727 F.2d 1535, 1537 (Fed.  Cir. 1984).  We affirm.
