Maria E. Hernandez, Complainant, v. John E. Potter, Postmaster General, United States Postal Service, Agency.


Maria E. Hernandez,

Complainant,

v.

John E. Potter,

Postmaster General,

United States Postal Service,

Agency.

Request No. 0520090451

Appeal No. 0120091128

Agency No. 4G-780-0062-08

DENIAL

Complainant timely requested reconsideration of the decision in Maria

E. Hernandez v. United States Postal Service, EEOC Appeal No. 0120091128

(April 9, 2009). EEOC Regulations provide that the Commission may, in its

discretion, grant a request to 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).

On request, complainant reiterates some argument made below, albeit

changing her terminology. After reconsidering 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. 0120091128 remains the Commission's decision. There is no further

right of administrative appeal on the decision of the Commission on

this request.

COMPLAINANT'S RIGHT TO FILE A CIVIL ACTION (P0408)

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 (Z1008)

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 from the Court that

the Court appoint an attorney to represent you and that the Court also

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 with

the Court 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").
