The court's holding and decision will be displayed here.

This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

P filed a workers’ compensation claim, and D erroneously reported P’s past military records s containing a diagnosis of major depression with psychotic features, when, in fact, Mr. Tippetts' medical records clearly indicated a 'history of major depression without psychotic features, secondary to physical injuries.' D viewed P’s employment application as fraudulent. P was placed on administrative leave, but he was not informed of the reason and he was never told during his leave period why he had been suspended. P alleges that Postal Service management personnel stated to his coworkers that he was psychotic. P's employment with the Postal Service was terminated. P appealed and a written settlement agreement was entered whereby P's employment was reinstated, and he was awarded some back pay. P sued D for emotional distress, invasion of privacy, and financial losses. The court granted D’s motion to dismiss as it was without jurisdiction under CSRA and FECA (Federal Employees' Compensation Act). P appealed.
