爆料网AT Held or 爆料网DT Pronouncements
爆料网AT concurred with 爆料网DT that the Appellant neither appealed the administrative decision not to select him for the post, nor challenged the selection process or the JAB’s conclusion, but rather he discussed the release of a Confidential Letter which occurred after the selection process. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT was correct in finding that the appeal was not receivable with respect to the non-promotion. 爆料网AT held that the Appellant failed to establish that 爆料网DT committed errors warranting the reversal of its determination that his challenge to the decision to release the Confidential Letter was not receivable. 爆料网AT held that 爆料网DT correctly concluded that the issue related to the disclosure of the Confidential Letter arose from an administrative act that took place after the proceedings concerning the non-selection process were already underway and was an issue which constituted an independent matter that should have undergone administrative review. 爆料网AT held that the 爆料网DT was competent to review its own jurisdiction, whether or not it had been raised by the parties. 爆料网AT dismissed the appeal and affirmed the 爆料网DT judgment.
