Federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled federal courts lack jurisdiction over a 10 civilian employees protest against replacement by military personnel at Travis Air Force Base. The decision affirmed a Sacramento judge’s ruling that the group failed to exhaust civil service remedies and must pursue formal appeals under the civil service program.
