                          __________________________

                              DECIDED: June 7, 2007
                           __________________________

Before MAYER, Circuit Judge, PLAGER, Senior Circuit Judge, and LOURIE, Circuit
Judge.

PER CURIAM.

      Carl G. Mueller appeals the Merit Systems Protection Board’s final decision,

which dismissed his appeal for lack of jurisdiction. Mueller v. Dep’t of Agric., SF-0752-

06-0777-I-1 (MSPB Dec. 14, 2006). We affirm.

      The board’s jurisdiction is limited to appeals by federal employees or applicants

for federal employment.    As a participant serving the Forest Service in the Senior

Community Service Employment Program, Mueller does not fall into either of those

categories. 42 U.S.C. § 3056b(a). In addition, the record shows that he was provided
documents during his orientation explaining that he was not a Forest Service employee.

Accordingly, the board properly dismissed the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
