Case: 13-3107 Document: 25 2 Page: 2 METZ Filed: 11/21/2013 v. MCHUGH Metz appeals the decision of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ( EEOC ) concurring with the final decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board finding no discrimination. This court lacks jurisdiction to hear Metz s appeal. If an employee loses her mixed case appeal on the merits of her discrimination claim, she may obtain further review of the adverse decision, either from a district court or from the EEOC and then (if necessary) a district court, but not from this court. Conforto v. Merit Sys. Prot. Bd., 703 F.3d 1111, 1116 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (citing 5 U.S.C. §§ 7702(a)(3), 7703(b)(2); 29 C.F.R. § 1614.303310). Indeed, the EEOC s decision expressly states that Metz has 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 [she] receive[d] th[e] decision. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: (1) The motion is granted and the appeal is transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1631. (2) All pending motions are denied as moot. FOR THE COURT /s/ Daniel E. O Toole Daniel E. O Toole Clerk of Court s25 ISSUED AS A MANDATE: November 21, 2013
