Alsace T. Dyer,

Petitioner,

v.

Dr. Francis J. Harvey,

Secretary,

Department of the Army,

Agency.

Petition No. 03A60105

MSPB No. PH0752064082I1

DENIAL OF CONSIDERATION

Petitioner filed a petition with the Equal Employment Opportunity

Commission asking for review of an Initial Decision issued by the Merit

Systems Protection Board (MSPB) concerning his claim of discrimination

in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII),

as amended, 42 U.S.C. � 2000e et seq. The Initial Decision became the

Board's final decision.

Petitioner was removed from his position of Construction Representative

for failure to meet the conditions of his employment effective July

21, 2005. The removal notice gave petitioner appeal rights to the MSPB.

Petitioner filed an EEO complaint in December 2005, and the EEO complaint

was dismissed in February 2006 for untimely EEO counselor contact, finding

petitioner did not contact an EEO counselor until October 26, 2005.

Petitioner then filed an appeal with the MSPB. The MSPB dismissed the

petition, finding that petitioner did not establish that his appeal was

timely filed or that good cause existed for an untimely filing. The MSPB

determined that petitioner should have filed his appeal with the Board

by August 22, 2005. Petitioner then filed the instant petition with

the Commission.

EEOC Regulations provide that the Commission has jurisdiction over

mixed case appeals on which the MSPB has issued a decision that makes

determinations on allegations of discrimination. 29 C.F.R. � 1614.303

et seq. The Commission has no jurisdiction over procedural matters of

the Board. Because the Board did not address any matters within the

Commission's jurisdiction, the Commission has no jurisdiction to review

petitioner's case. Consequently, the Commission denied the petition for

review.

PETITIONER'S RIGHT TO FILE A CIVIL ACTION (W0900)

This decision of the Commission is final, and there is no further right of

administrative appeal from the Commission's decision. You have the right

to file a civil action in an appropriate United States District Court,

based on the decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board, within

thirty (30) calendar days of the date that you receive this decision.

If you file a civil action, you must name as the defendant in the

complaint the person who is the official agency head or department head,

identifying that person by his or her full name and official title.

Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of your case in court.

"Agency" or "department" means the national organization, and not the

local office, facility or department in which you work.

RIGHT TO REQUEST COUNSEL (Z1199)

If you decide to file a civil action, and if you do not have or cannot

afford the services of an attorney, you may request that the Court appoint

an attorney to represent you and that the Court permit you to file the

action without payment of fees, costs, or other security. See Title VII

of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. � 2000e et seq.;

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. �� 791, 794(c).

The grant or denial of the request is within the sole discretion of

the Court. Filing a request for an attorney does not extend your time

in which to file a civil action. Both the request and the civil action

must be filed within the time limits as stated in the paragraph above

("Right to File A Civil Action").
