ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
Eugene Richards, a former employee of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), brought suit against his supervisors alleging that they violated his First Amendment rights by retaliating against him for his whistleblow-ing activities. The district court concluded that Richards’ sole remedy was through the Merits Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and that his appeal from that decision should have been made to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We affirm.
