Kloeckner v. Solis

Summary

The Court held that federal employees may seek judicial review of a Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) 'mixed case' dismissal in federal district court, rather than the Federal Circuit, regardless of whether the MSPB dismissed the case on procedural grounds or on the merits. The decision interprets 5 U.S.C. § 7702 and § 7703 to route mixed discrimination claims to district court, reversing the Eighth Circuit.
