Complainant,

v.

Megan J. Brennan,
Postmaster General,
United States Postal Service
(Northeast Area),
Agency.

Request No. 0520150061

Appeal No. 0120141985

Agency No. 4B-100-0079-13

DECISION ON REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
Complainant requested reconsideration of the decision in Complainant v. U.S. Postal Service,
EEOC Appeal No. 0120141985 (September 22, 2014). 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(c).
In her underlying complaint, Complainant alleged that the Agency subjected her to
discrimination on the bases of national origin (Dominican), age (over 40), and in reprisal for
prior EEO activity when:

1. on April 10, 2013, she was terminated from her position as a Transitional Employee;
and
2. on April 4, 2013, she was sent home after she refused to report to another station

In our prior decision, the Commission affirmed the Agency’s finding of no discrimination.

After reviewing 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(c), and it is the decision of the
Commission to deny the request. The decision in EEOC Appeal No. 0120141985 remains the
0520150061

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

(P0610)
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

(Z0610)
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”).
