MICHEL, Circuit Judge.
The claims at issue in this case were brought under the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Act (“the Act”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 3796-96e (1988 & Supp. Ill 1991). The plaintiffs, Marvin A. Chacon et al. (collectively “Cha-con”), appeal from the order of the Court of Federal Claims 1 granting the government’s motion for summary judgment on the ground that the decedents in this case were not “public safety officers” as defined by the Act. Because Chacon has failed to show that the decedents were public safety officers, we affirm.
