Nos. 95-1385, 95-1862
United States Court of Appeals,
Eighth Circuit.
Submitted: Aug. 31, 1995
Filed: Sept. 8, 1995
Before WOLLMAN, MAGILL, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Joseph P. Poynton filed these actions against numerous federal employees for violation of his constitutional rights in connection with his employment downgrade and denial of Federal Employees' Compensation Act benefits. Each of the district courts1 declined to entertain Poynton's claims under Bivens.2 Poynton appeals.
The district courts correctly concluded that federal employees have no right of action under Bivens for constitutional tort claims arising out of an aspect of federal employment, because Congress has provided the remedy of seeking relief through the Office of Special Counsel disciplinary process under the Civil Service Reform Act. See McIntosh v. Turner, 861 F.2d 524, 525-26 (8th Cir.1988); Spagnola v. Mathis, 859 F.2d 223, 228-29 (D.C.Cir.1988) (per curiam) (en banc). Similarly, federal employees cannot pursue such claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act. See Gergick v. Austin, 997 F.2d 1237, 1239 (8th Cir.1993), cert. denied, 114 S. Ct. 1536 (1994). Poynton's motions to supplement the record are denied.
Accordingly, we affirm the judgments of the district courts.
