Simeon L. CORPUZ, Petitioner,
v.
OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, Respondent.

No. 89-3006.

United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit.

May 9, 1989.

Before MARKEY, Chief Judge, and PAULINE NEWMAN and ARCHER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

DECISION

1

The decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board (board), No. SE08318810376, affirming the Office of Personnel Management's reconsideration decision denying Simeon L. Corpuz's (Corpuz) application for a Civil Service Retirement Annuity, is affirmed.

OPINION

2

Because Corpuz had the burden of establishing entitlement to retirement benefits, see 5 C.F.R. 1201.56(a), and because we agree with the board that Corpuz' evidence failed to indicate that any such service was creditable or covered, we affirm the board's decision. See Watts v. Office of Personnel Management, 814 F.2d 1576 (Fed.Cir.1987).
