1Opinion of the Court

MICHEL, Circuit Judge.

Thomas Latham appeals the order of the Merit Systems Protection Board dismissing his petition for lack of jurisdiction based on its finding that his resignation was voluntary. Latham v. United States Postal Serv., Docket No. CH07528910446 (MSPB Aug. 1, 1989). The Administrative Judge’s (AJ’s) initial decision became final December 13, 1989, upon denial of review by the full Board, 42 M.S.P.R. 489, and this appeal followed. Because substantial evidence supports the AJ’s finding that Latham resigned voluntarily, the Board lacked jurisdiction. Accordingly, we affirm.
