The decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board, Docket No. SE0752861363, is affirmed on the basis of the board's opinion. Ms. Britt's appeal was withdrawn at her request, when the administrative judge denied her motion for dismissal without prejudice. The board did not abuse its discretion, or commit an error of law, in declining to consider the case on its merits when Ms. Britt sought to reopen it five weeks later.
