Power v. United States
United States Court of Claims

1Opinion of the CourtKunzig, Judge
In this civilian pay case plaintiff, formerly employed as an Army Ammunition inspector, contests his dismissal seeking reinstatement and hack pay. The Army removed Power because he allegedly submitted false information in connection with a claim for travel expense reimbursement. We find the dismissal penalty so out of proportion to plaintiff’s proven conduct that it constitutes an abuse of discretion by defendant. Accordingly, plaintiff is entitled to recover back pay.
The instant case stems from plaintiff’s April 1971 transfer from Fort Wingate Army Depot in New Mexico to Eed Eiver Army Depot…
