1: Adjudication

To provide fair, high-quality, timely and efficient adjudication of cases filed with the MSPB and to make effective use of alternative methods of dispute resolution in MSPB proceedings.

Other Information:

The MSPB met all four of its adjudication performance goals for FY 2010. We continued to issue high-quality decisions. We also met our performance goal for overall adjudication case processing timeliness. We began implementing changes in our PFR process to improve understanding and transparency. For the first time in 24 years, we held oral arguments on two related cases that raised a significant legal issue of broad potential impact. Overall, MSPB received 8,260 cases in FY 2010, 11 percent more cases than were received in FY 2009. The MSPB processed 7,708 cases in FY 2010. Each case is adjudicated on its merits and in a manner consistent with the interests of fairness, which is achieved by assuring due process and the parties’ full participation at all stages of the appeal.
