129As the pleas for annulment of the disputed decision were held to be either inadmissible or unfounded, the Court of First Instance, in paragraphs 178 and 179 of the contested judgment, properly rejected the appellant's claim for compensation for the material and nonmaterial damage allegedly suffered by him, since that claim was closely linked with the earlier pleas. The appellant has not put forward any argument capable of undermining that reasoning and accordingly his claim for damages before the Court of Justice is manifestly inadmissible.
