LINN, Circuit Judge.
Edward G. Langer appeals the final decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board (“Board” or “MSPB”), dismissing his individual right of action (“IRA”) on the ground that he failed to make out a prima facie case under the Whistleblower Protection Act (“WPA”). Langer v. Dep’t of the Treasury, Docket No. CH-1221-99-0540-W-l (M.S.P.B.1999). Because the Board correctly applied a preponderance of the evidence standard, and correctly determined that Langer had failed to meet that standard to prove that he had made a protected disclosure under the WPA, we affirm.
