v.

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

Request No. 0520170144

Appeal No. 0120170003

Agency No. 1J-531-0059-16

DECISION ON REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION

Complainant timely requested reconsideration of the decision in EEOC Appeal No.
0120170003 (December 7, 2016). 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).

The record indicates that Complainant, a former employee who stopped working at the Agency
in 1992, filed her complaint on August 5, 2016, alleging discrimination based on race, sex,
religion, color, disability, age, and in reprisal prior EEO activity when: since 1988 and
ongoing, she had been under surveillance, stalked, harassed, intimidated, the victim of hate
crimes, gang retaliation, and run off the road; sensors had been put in her apartment to
monitor her every movement; her phone had been tapped; she had not been paid since 1988;
she was not notified if she was fired or not by the Agency; and she was not properly
compensated by the Agency or the Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation.
On August 24, 2016, the Agency issued its final Agency decision dismissing the complaint for

failure to state a claim, for stating the same claim that was raised in her prior EEO complaints,
and/or due to untimely EEO Counselor contact pursuant to 29 C.F.R. §§ 1614.107(a)(1) and
(2). Upon Complainant’s appeal, the Commission affirmed the Agency’s final decision
dismissing the complaint. In her request, Complainant reiterates arguments she previously
made.

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. 0120170003 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 (Z0815)

If you want to file a civil action but cannot pay the fees, costs, or security to do so, you may
request permission from the court to proceed with the civil action without paying these fees or
costs. Similarly, if you cannot afford an attorney to represent you in the civil action, you may
request the court to appoint an attorney for you. You must submit the requests for waiver of
court costs or appointment of an attorney directly to the court, not the Commission. The court
has the sole discretion to grant or deny these types of requests. Such requests do not alter the
time limits for filing a civil action (please read the paragraph titled Complainant’s Right to File
a Civil Action for the specific time limits).
