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:

present appeal. The regulations, as amended, may also be found at the
Commission's website at www.eeoc.gov.
