RADER, Circuit Judge.

Mr. Donald Harants appeals from the decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board, Docket No. CH-0351-95-1007-I-1, 75 M.S.P.R. 415, dismissing his appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Mr. Harants’ appeal challenges his demotion by the United States Postal Service (the agency) during its 1995 “compliance” reduction-in-force (RIF). The Board dismissed the appeal because it found that Mr. Harants’ demotion was not a RIF action. Because Mr. Harants’ demotion was a RIF action, this court reverses and remands.
