O R D E R
In May 2024, this court transferred Lance McDermott’s
mixed case to federal district court because this court lacks
jurisdiction over such cases. See Appeal No. 2024-1788,
ECF No. 31. The district court has since dismissed, and
Mr. McDermott has an appeal pending before the United

MCDERMOTT v. MSPB 2
States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Mr. McDer-
mott has now filed a second, duplicative appeal with this
court. Because we lack jurisdiction and see no reason to
transfer, we grant the Merit Systems Protection Board’s
motion to dismiss.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
(1) The motion is granted. This matter is dismissed.
(2) Each party shall bear its own costs.
