Status Update – Motion Filed to Force USPS to Submit NRP Files

Our battle with the Postal Service continues regarding their refusal to provide evidence to the EEOC Judge in connection with individual claims for relief. We have asked the EEOC Judge to force the Postal Service to provide the NRP Files created by USPS management directly to the EEOC Judge and to each claimant, so that the EEOC Judge will have this highly-relevant information while assessing individual claims for relief.

We will post an update to this webpage as soon as a ruling is issued on this Motion.

Status Update for Our Clients

The Judge issued an order today, providing us with an extra 90 days to file submissions for our clients. With this clarification, we will continue the time-consuming process of preparing the claim submissions for the Judge’s consideration. A significant amount of legal work remains to be accomplished as we press forward on every front.

If you have not yet provided a Declaration to us, you now have one last opportunity: if you provide us with a Declaration as soon as possible and no later than April 30, 2019, we will be able to include your Declaration in a timely submission to the Judge. We strongly encourage you to submit a completed Declaration to us in order to enhance your claim for monetary relief. You can access the Declaration (with instructions) by clicking here. This same deadline (April 30, 2019) applies to all supporting documentation you would like to submit to us.

Please note, if you reached out to our office recently and have not yet heard back from us, we are returning calls in the order received. Of course, please feel free to call our office again at 585-272-0540, and you may be able to get through.

Status Update

As previously reported, we have filed an extension request with the Judge. The Judge has indicated generally that a reasonable extension of time will be allowed, but the Judge has not yet issued a written order. As soon as the Judge issues a written ruling on our motion for extension of time, we will post updated information on this website.

The bottom-line is this: we will take all steps necessary to provide the Judge with timely submissions for all our clients.

Thanks to all who have returned Declarations to us. We are continuing the process of organizing this information as fast as possible.

In the past few weeks, we received a very large number of calls and emails related to this case. We continue to respond to each call and email in the order received. If you have not yet received a call back, you may try to call us again, and you may be able to get through. In any event, please rest assured that we will return all messages. As always, we greatly appreciate your patience during this process.

Many of you have asked about the next steps in the EEOC process. Because the enormous volume of individual claims is unprecedented at the EEOC, no one is completely certain about the precise path that the litigation will take. But the general direction is clear: the Judge wants to move the claim process forward as fast as possible. Accordingly, we are pressing forward on all fronts, and our goal remains as before: we seek full recovery for all our clients.

A reminder: before calling us, please review the following sources to see if your question has already been addressed: FAQs on this website; the instructions letter that accompanied the Declaration form; and the informational videos prepared by our firms (with links below).
