Goal & Performance Indicators Checklist

OGC Goal

Timely and high-quality legal expertise on Federal civil service law and related matters is provided to the Director, Deputy Director and OPM programs.

Defense of OPM in litigation before the MSPB and EEOC.

For 1999, we have handled our estimate of approximately 209 cases for this category providing timely and high-quality legal expertise.

Support to the Justice Department in defending MSPB decisions sustaining OPM retirement decisions.

For 1999, we estimated 270 cases, and instead handled well over 300, providing timely and high-quality legal expertise in this matter.

Support to the Justice Department in representing OPM in Federal court litigation.

For 1999, we estimated 41 cases and actually provided timely and quality legal support for approximately that number.

Advocacy for appeal cases involving significant civil service issues to the Federal court of appeals.

For 1999, we estimated that we would take 3 cases to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We actually received 3 decisions (2 favorable and 1 unfavorable) and had 1 case pending at the end of the fiscal year. Again, this demonstrates timely and quality legal expertise.

Support of ethics and Hatch Act efforts.

In this category, there are no cases to target nor account for.
