The Merit Systems Protection Board has announced an upgrade to e-Appeal,
its online appeal filing system, that will allow participants in
board proceedings to file any type of pleading — not just new appeals
as was previously the case.
The system now enables the board and filers to upload a variety
of file formats, or enter pleadings online, as well as receive
documents the same day they are submitted, said MSPB.
It said e-filers could submit part of their pleadings online and
part in paper, and that the board would issue documents to
participants as PDFs.
A more complete description of e-Appeal, and the regulations
governing electronic filing can be found in the September 27
Federal Register.
