Lisanti v. Office of Personnel Mgmt., No. 08-3261

Merit Systems Protection Board judgment regarding the Office of Personnel Management's calculation of plaintiff's retirement annuity is affirmed where: 1) the Board erred in stating that neither it nor OPM had the authority to question the Administrative Office's determination of plaintiff's basic pay; 2) the Board properly affirmed the OPM's decision that transcript income should not be included in the definition of basic pay; and 3) plaintiff's request for class treatment is moot since Board's decision that plaintiff's transcript income did not qualify as basic pay has been affirmed.
