Betty J. Sims,
Complainant,

John E. Potter,
Postmaster General,
United States Postal Service,
Agency.
Request No. 05A41275
Appeal No. 01A43766
Agency No. HC000103
DECISION ON REQUEST TO RECONSIDER
Betty J. Sims (complainant) timely initiated a request to the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission to reconsider the decision in Betty
J. Sims v. John E. Potter, Postmaster General, United States Postal
Service, EEOC Appeal No. 01A43766 (August 18, 2004). EEOC regulations
provide that the Commissioners may, in their discretion, reconsider any
previous decision where the party demonstrates that: (1) the previous
decision involved a clearly erroneous interpretation of material fact or
law; or (2) the decision will have a substantial impact on the policies,
practices or operation of the agency. 29 C.F.R. � 1614.405(b).
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. 01A43766 remains the Commission's final decision.
There is no further right of administrative appeal on the decision of
the Commission on a request for reconsideration.
STATEMENT OF COMPLAINANT'S RIGHTS - ON 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").
