ONESIMUS RODGERS,
                                                                        Plaintiff-Appellant,

                                           versus

BOBBY E. SCOTT, in his Capacity
as a District Director, Dallas
District, for the IRS, and/or in
his Individual Capacity,
                                                                       Defendant-Appellee.



                       Appeal from the United States District Court
                           For the Northern District of Texas
                                   (4:95-CV-649-A)


                                       June 27, 1996
Before POLITZ, Chief Judge, KING and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

       Onesimus Rodgers, a federal employee with the Internal Revenue Service, appeals the



   *
     Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
dismissal, for failure of subject matter jurisdiction, of his suit against Bobby E. Scott, District

Director of the IRS, in an action under the Administrative Procedures Act, 5 U.S.C.

§§ 702-04; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e; and the fifth

amendment. Rodgers contends that the district court had jurisdiction because he exhausted

all necessary administrative remedies before filing his action in federal court.

       The Civil Service Reform Act is a comprehensive statute which provides an integrated

system of administrative and judicial review of adverse personnel actions such as

discrimination.1 Rodgers may not circumvent the detailed scheme of the CSRA by invoking

the more general APA.2 Title VII is the exclusive judicial remedy for a federal employee’s

claim of discrimination.3 Rodgers failed to exhaust his administrative remedies under this

legislative scheme thereby precluding judicial review.4

       Rodgers contends that the district court erred in dismissing the action against Scott

in his individual capacity.       Rodgers may not trump the administrative exhaustion

requirements by bringing a tort action against his supervisor individually.5

       Rodgers also maintains that the district court abused its discretion in granting

defendant’s motion to transfer venue from the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division,

discretion in granting that motion because the action properly could have been brought in the

Fort Worth Division.6

       AFFIRMED.
