Experience
Oguntade v. Merit Systems Protection Board
Babatunde Oguntade
Merit Systems Protection Board
Secured a unanimous, precedential Federal Circuit victory for a whistleblower who reported that an AI tool used by the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) was delaying the processing of veterans’ benefits claims. The Court reversed the Merit Systems Protection Board’s jurisdictional dismissal, holding that Dr. Oguntade sufficiently alleged protected disclosures of gross mismanagement by the DVA, and remanded for further proceedings.
