Rey Lara, Complainant, v. Michael J. Astrue, Commissioner, Social Security Administration, Agency.
Rey Lara,
Complainant,
v.
Michael J. Astrue,
Commissioner,
Social Security Administration,
Agency.
Request No. 0520110021
Appeal No. 0120091636
Hearing No. 480-2008-00340x
Agency No. SF070418SSA
DENIAL
Complainant timely requested reconsideration of the decision in Rey Lara
v. Social Security Administration, EEOC Appeal No. 0120091636 (August
21, 2009).1 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).
In his request, Complainant expresses his disagreement with the previous
decision and reiterates arguments made previously. A request for
reconsideration is not a form of second appeal. 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. 0120091636 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 (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").
