DECISION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On November 12, 2014, Hearing Officer Paul Coran issued a Decision and Order in the above-captioned case. The Hearing Officer concluded that the Office of the Architect of the Capitol (“AOC”) did not commit disability discrimination or retaliation against Sir Leander Gamble (“Gamble”) with respect to its handling of Gamble’s workers’ compensation claim before the Department of Labor.
The Board has considered the Hearing Officer’s Decision in light of the record, the petition for review, and the parties’ briefs and filings. The Board finds that the Hearing Officer’s conclusions are supported by substantial evidence and affirms the Hearing Officer’s determination that the record does not establish disability discrimination or retaliation. See Office of the Architect of the Capitol v. Office of Compliance, et al., 2004 U.S. App. LEXIS 4541 (Fed. Cir. 03/11/2004); Francisca Laguna v. Office of the Architect of the Capitol, Case No. 02- AC-54, (CV, FL) (April 8, 2004). We rely upon the Hearing Officer’s finding and conclusion that Gamble could not establish a prima facie case of disability discrimination or retaliation.
ORDER
For the foregoing reasons, the Board affirms Hearing Officer’s Decision to dismiss the complaint.
It is so ORDERED.
Issued, Washington, DC on September 17, 2015.
