5 U.S.C. ch. 81 (1994). Petitioner believed that he “suffered
from an emotional/psychiatric injury as a result of harassment
and racial discrimination” in his workplace. Petitioner’s
request was denied on March 2, 1993.
Petitioner disagreed with the OPM decision denying that
request, and obtained a rehearing on January 12, 1994. In a
decision dated March 23, 1994, the March 2, 1993, decision was
affirmed. Petitioner requested reconsideration of the March 23,
1994, decision and on January 30, 1995, OPM denied modification
of the March 23, 1994, decision. Petitioner requested further
reconsideration of the January 30, 1995, decision, and, again,
OPM denied merit review of the case in a decision dated June 7,
1997. Petitioner continued to appeal unfavorable decisions
through OPM’s appeals process.2 On October 5, 2000, the
Employment Compensation Appeals Board (ECAB) of the DOL rendered
a Final Appeals decision finding that petitioner had not
established that his emotional condition arose out of the
performance of duty, and, further, that the Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs properly denied petitioner’s request for
reconsideration.
On February 6, 1997, petitioner filed a complaint with the
United States District Court for the Western District of
2 Petitioner has filed, unsuccessfully, a total of six
appeals of prior unfavorable decisions from 1994 through 2000.
