Almanza v. United States

Reyna, Circuit Judge.

Manuel Almanza represents a group of United States Border Patrol Agents who seek compensation from the United States for activities they claim were performed during "hours of work" while attending a voluntary canine instructor course. The United States Court of Federal Claims granted summary judgment in favor of the government and denied Almanza's claims. Because the court correctly determined that Almanza is not entitled to compensation as a matter of law, we affirm.
