PER CURIAM.
The decision of the Merit Systems Protection Board, Docket No. AT08318710211, affirming the reconsideration decision of the Office of Personnel Management that the estate of Earl M. Rucker is not entitled to payment of a lump-sum retirement credit, is affirmed on the basis of the decision of the administrative judge. Mr. Rucker had not changed his designation of beneficiary, and such designation for the purpose of payment of retirement annuity is not subject to change by operation of state law.
