1

We conclude, in agreement with the decisions in Wiggins v. United States Postal Service, 653 F.2d 219 (5th Cir. 1981) and Christo v. Merit Systems Protection Board, 667 F.2d 882 (10th Cir. 1981), that mixed cases involving both claims of discrimination and of improper agency action must be brought as one action in the district court. Accordingly we lack jurisdiction over the petition and it is therefore dismissed.
