DENIAL OF REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION

On May 5, 2000, Anthony Evans (complainant) initiated a request to the

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Commission) to reconsider

the decision in Anthony Evans v. United States Postal Service, EEOC

Appeal No. 01A00444 (March 20, 2000).<1> EEOC Regulations provide

that the Commissioners may, in their discretion, reconsider any previous

Commission decision. 64 Fed. Reg. 37,644, 37,656 (1999)(to be codified

and hereinafter referred to as EEOC Regulation 29 C.F.R. � 1614.405(b)).

The party requesting reconsideration must submit written argument

or evidence which tends to establish one or more of the following

two criteria: the appellate decision involved a clearly erroneous

interpretation of material fact or law; or the decision will have a

substantial impact on the policies, practices or operations of the

agency. Complainant's request is denied.

After a review of complainant's request for reconsideration, the previous

decision, and the entire record, the Commission finds complainant's

request does not meet the criteria of 29 C.F.R. � 1614.405(b), and

it is the decision of the Commission to deny complainant's request.

The decision of the Commission in EEOC Appeal No. 01A00444 remains

the Commission's final decision. There is no further right of

administrative appeal from a decision of the Commission on a request

for reconsideration.

COMPLAINANTS' RIGHT TO FILE A CIVIL ACTION (P0400)

This decision of the Commission is final, and there is no further right

of administrative appeal from the Commission's decision. You have the

right to file a civil action in an appropriate United States District

Court WITHIN NINETY (90) CALENDAR DAYS from the date that you receive this

decision. If you file a civil action, YOU MUST NAME AS THE DEFENDANT IN

THE COMPLAINT THE PERSON WHO IS THE OFFICIAL AGENCY HEAD OR DEPARTMENT

HEAD, IDENTIFYING THAT PERSON BY HIS OR HER FULL NAME AND OFFICIAL TITLE.

Failure to do so may result in the dismissal of your case in court.

"Agency" or "department" means the national organization, and not the

local office, facility or department in which you work.

RIGHT TO REQUEST COUNSEL (Z1199)

If you decide to file a civil action, and if you do not have or cannot

afford the services of an attorney, you may request that the Court appoint

an attorney to represent you and that the Court permit you to file the

action without payment of fees, costs, or other security. See Title VII

of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. � 2000e et seq.;

the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. �� 791, 794(c).

The grant or denial of the request is within the sole discretion of

the Court. Filing a request for an attorney does not extend your time

in which to file a civil action. Both the request and the civil action

must be filed within the time limits as stated in the paragraph above

("Right to File A Civil Action").

FOR THE COMMISSION:

July 21, 2000

Date Carlton M. Hadden, Acting Director

Office of Federal Operations

1On November 9, 1999, revised regulations governing the EEOC's federal

sector complaint process went into effect. These regulations apply to all

federal sector EEO complaints pending at any stage in the administrative

process. Consequently, the Commission will apply the revised regulations

found at 64 Fed. Reg. 37,644 (1999), where applicable, in deciding the

present appeal. The regulations, as amended, may also be found at the

Commission's website at www.eeoc.gov.
