Before RICH, Circuit Judge, NICHOLS, Senior Circuit Judge, and MAYER, Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM.

DECISION

1
This appeal is from the decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board (board), docket number SF07528210386, denying Hymen's petition to review the administrative judge's (AJ's) initial decision.  The AJ sustained the United States Postal Service's removal of Hymen from his position as a reserve letter carrier for continued unsatisfactory effort to perform his assigned duties.  We affirm.

OPINION

2
After carefully considering the record and each of Hymen's arguments, we hold that the board's decision must be affirmed under the narrow standard of review of 5 U.S.C. Sec. 7703(c) (1982).
