William S. Barnhart v. Donald Devine, Director, Opm

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• dismissing action by employees who filed a petition with the OPM but did not present their grievance to the OSC before filing an action in mandamus in federal court
• employees denied job reclassification may not seek to mandamus OPM, but must rely on the OSC
• failure to pursue relief through the Office of Spe- cial Counsel (OSC) precludes availability of writ of mandamus; manda- mus relief would have been available if OSC had\utterly failed to take action\ on classification complaint
• Special Counsel is “prosecutorial arm” and MSPB is “adjudicatory apparatus”
