                           ___________________________


Before MICHEL, Chief Judge, GAJARSA, and DYK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

      Petitioner Orlis J. Bush seeks reversal of a final decision by the Merit Systems

Protection Board (Board) that granted his request to withdraw his appeal.          On

November 17, 2005, Mr. Bush asked the Board to withdraw his appeal. The Board

obliged and dismissed the appeal with prejudice on December 14, 2005. Mr. Bush has

appealed the Board's action to this court. The Board did not abuse its discretion by

granting this voluntary request. Moreover, Mr. Bush has since settled his dispute with

the Office of Personnel Management and is receiving the benefits he initially sought.

We therefore affirm the decision of the Board in dismissing his appeal.

      No costs.
