Gordon R. England,

Secretary,

Department of the Navy,

Agency.

Request No. 05A01174

Appeal No. 01994452

Agency No. 99-62813-005

DECISION ON REQUEST TO RECONSIDER

Ba Thi McLeod-Aster (complainant) timely initiated a request to the Equal

Employment Opportunity Commission to reconsider the decision in Ba Thi

McLeod-Aster v. Richard J. Danzig, Secretary, Department of the Navy,

EEOC Appeal No. 01994452 (October 4, 1999). 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 record before us, 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. 01994452 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").
