1Opinion of the Court

Opinion for the court filed by Circuit Judge BRYSON.

Dissenting opinion filed by Circuit Judge DYK.

BRYSON, Circuit Judge.

Marie C. Conforto seeks review of the Merit Systems Protection Board’s dismissal of her appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Although she sought review in this court, Ms. Conforto now challenges this court’s jurisdiction to hear her appeal in light of the Supreme Court’s recent decision in Kloeckner v. Solis, — U.S. -, 133 S.Ct. 596, 184 L.Ed.2d 433 (2012). For the reasons explained below, we conclude that we have jurisdiction over this appeal, and we affirm the Board’s decision.
