Summary

If a United States marshal who had come from a competitive-service job is removed from office for reasons other than misconduct, neglect, or malfeasance, that person has the right to be rehired into any open competitive-service job in the United States Marshals Service at the same or a lower grade or pay level. The marshal must be qualified for the job and must apply no later than ninety days after being removed. Competitive service = federal jobs filled under civil-service rules.
