Danny M. Wells v. Merit Systems Protection Board

NOTE: This order is nonprecedential.
United States Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit

DANNY M. WELLS,
Petitioner
v.
MERIT SYSTEMS PROTECTION BOARD,
Respondent
______________________
2026-1342
______________________
Petition for review of the Merit Systems Protection
Board.
______________________
PER CURIAM.
O R D E R
Danny M. Wells filed a 284-page document with the
court. While difficult to decipher, it appeared to challenge
a letter from the Merit Systems Protection Board’s Chief
Administrative Judge rejecting his submission of an appeal
for failure to “identify an appealable agency action within
the Board’s jurisdiction.” ECF No. 1-2 at 280; see also id.
at 4. The court directed Mr. Wells to address why his ap-
peal should not be dismissed and to clearly identify what
he had submitted to the Board. In response, he files nu-
merous documents that, at most, vaguely refer to his Board
submission as involving whistleblowing.

WELLS v. MSPB 2
This court’s jurisdiction is limited. While we may re-
view certain final decisions of the Board, 28 U.S.C.
§ 1295(a)(9), Mr. Wells’s submissions following this court’s
show cause order are non-responsive and he has failed to
show that he is appealing from any decision that can be
reviewed by this court. We therefore dismiss this matter.
And, in light of Mr. Wells’s prior filings, the court will not
take action on any further filings except for a single, timely,
clearly-labeled petition for panel rehearing and/or petition
for rehearing en banc. See Fed. R. App. P. 40.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) This matter is dismissed.
(2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
