Roy E. WINE, Petitioner, v. DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS’ RETIREMENT AND RELIEF BOARD, Respondent.

No. 94-AA-727.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Argued Oct. 3, 1995.

Decided Oct. 24, 1995.*

Frederic W. Schwartz, Jr. and James Tag-lieri, Washington, DC, for petitioner.

Sonia Bacchus, Assistant Corporation Counsel, with whom Garland Pinkston, Acting Corporation Counsel, Charles L. Reis-chel, Deputy Corporation Counsel, and Lutz Alexander Prager, Assistant Deputy Corporation Counsel, were on the brief for respondent.

Before FERREN and KING, Associate Judges, and NEWMAN, Senior Judge.

NEWMAN, Senior Judge:

Wine argues that the decision of the Board ordering his involuntary retirement based on non-service related disability lacks the requisite evidentiary support. We affirm.

The proceedings of the Board are set forth in its brief; we incorporate the same herein. On this record, there is sufficient evidence to support the Board’s holding that there was not a full time light duty job petitioner was capable of performing. Thus, based on the teachings of Price v. Police & Firefighters Retirement and Relief Bd., 542 A.2d 1249 (D.C.1988), we must affirm.

Accordingly, the decision appealed from herein is hereby affirmed.

So ordered.
