Request No. 05A00510

Appeal No. 01995054

Agency No. 1F921006197

Hearing No. 340983530X

DENIAL OF REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION

The complainant initiated a request to the Equal Employment Opportunity

Commission (Commission) to reconsider the decision in Crispina Galliano

v. United States Postal Service, EEOC Appeal No. 01995054 (March 6,

2000).<1> EEOC Regulations provide that the Commission may, in its

discretion, reconsider any previous Commission decision where the

requesting party demonstrates that: (1) the appellate decision involved

a clearly erroneous interpretation of material fact or law; or (2)

the appellate decision will have a substantial impact on the policies,

practices, or operations of the agency. See 29 C.F.R. � 1614.405(b).

In her initial complaint, complainant alleged that she was discriminated

against on the basis of her race (Hispanic), color (brown), gender

(female), and national origin (Mexico) at the agency's Midway Processing

and Distribution facility, San Diego, California when her supervisors

instructed her to perform mail handler duties; failed to take action

against a co-worker who assaulted her; yelled at her; and intimidated,

harassed and fired her. After a review of the complainant's request

for reconsideration, the previous decision, and the entire record,

the Commission finds that the request fails to meet the criteria of

29 C.F.R. � 1614.405(b), and it is the decision of the Commission

to deny the request. The decision in EEOC Appeal No. 01995054

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

administrative appeal on the decision of the Commission on this request

for reconsideration.

COMPLAINANT'S RIGHT TO FILE A CIVIL ACTION (P0900)

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:
