U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

Jadue v. Dhs

August 31, 2026

Summary

The court dismissed for lack of jurisdiction the portion of the appeal challenging denial of sanctions because the request arose solely from the agency's processing of discrimination claims in a mixed case, which petitioner had abandoned. The court otherwise affirmed the Board's decision sustaining four lack-of-candor specifications and upholding removal, concluding that the findings were supported by substantial evidence and that the penalty analysis was legally adequate. No separate opinions were issued.
