   Civil  Division

         Subject:  Norman Summers v. United  States
                    t. Cl. No. 130-79C

   Dear  Mr. Peterson:

         This responds to your letters of  September 4 and 24,
    1980, reference MDPeterson:aft, 154-130-79C,  as well
    as our telephone conversation of September  16, 1980,
    regarding the above-captioned action.  We find no grounds
    for the application of our Turner-Caldwell  line of cases
    in this matter since plaintiff was detailed  to a lower
    grade position, not a higher grade position.  Although
    in .Turner-Caldwell cases the details involved are
    considered illegal in that they are  in violation of
    Civil Service Commission regulations  regarding details
    beyond 120 days, this technical error  did not act to
    terminate the details. On the contrary,  because the
    details continued beyond 120 days  in violation of
    applicable regulations, the persons  who had been so
    detailed became eligible for the salary  of the higher
    grade position to which they had been  detailed.

         Plaintiff in Summers on the other  hand contends
    that because his detail was illegal,  i.e., that it
    lasted beyond 120 days, he is entitled  to the overtime
    he would have received but for  the detail in his appointed
    position of Officer-in-Charge of  the Port of Entry at
    San Luis, Arizona. Since in Turner-Caldwell  cases details
    continued beyond 120 days  in spite of CSC regulations,
