Charles R. CALIRE, Petitioner,
v.
OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, Respondent.
Appeal No. 87-3150.
United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.
June 15, 1987.
Before MARKEY, Chief Judge, RICH, Circuit Judge, and BALDWIN, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM.
The decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board in No. CH08318610487, dismissing the appeal as untimely, is affirmed. The petitioner filed his appeal approximately 40 days after the 20-day appeal period had expired without any explanation. See 5 CFR 1201.22(b); 1201.12. The administrative judge's decision not to waive the time limit was not arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, unsupported by the evidence, or otherwise not in accordance with law. 5 USC 7703(c); see Sheeran v. Merit Sys. Protection Bd., 746 F.2d 806, 807 (Fed.Cir.1984); Phillips v. United States Postal Serv., 695 F.2d 1389, 1390-91 (Fed.Cir.1982).
