Before NEWMAN, REYNA, and CHEN, Circuit Judges.
REYNA, CIRCUIT JUDGE
Nafiseh T. Moghadam appeals a Merit Systems Protection Board ("Board") decision that denied her Whistleblower Protection Act claims. Based on the record before us, we affirm the decision of the Board.
On appeal, Ms. Moghadam asserts that "she is entitled under both the [Whistleblower Protection Act] and the [Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act] to request . . . attorney fees." Reply Br. 6. We do not address this issue because it was not decided below and has not been properly raised before this court.
AFFIRMED
COSTS
No costs.
