U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

Harris-Campbell v. Treasury

August 20, 2026

Summary

The court affirmed the Merit Systems Protection Board’s decision sustaining Harris-Campbell’s removal from federal service. It held that the Board did not abuse its discretion by considering Tax Court materials and a stipulation to establish the amount of her settled tax liability, and that any alleged evidentiary error would not warrant reversal absent demonstrated substantial harm or prejudice. The court also applied deferential review to the Board’s legal, factual, and evidentiary determinations.
