MEMORANDUM**


2
Vern W. Englert appeals pro se from the dismissal of his handicap discrimination claim against his former employer, the Small Business Administration ("SBA").  He contends that he was fired from his job as a SBA financial loan officer in violation of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. Sec. 794.


3
We agree with the district court that Englert abandoned his discrimination claim by not timely filing either a petition with the EEOC or a complaint in the district court within 30 days after the decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board became final.


4
The judgment is AFFIRMED.
