DAVIS, Circuit Judge.
Petitioner Jerris Wise appeals from the decisions of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB or Board), 23 M.S.P.R. 666, denying his motion for attorney fees under the Civil Service Reform Act, 5 U.S.C. § 7701(g)(1) (1982), and corresponding Board regulations, 5 C.F.R. § 1021.37(a) (1985).
