Merit Appeals Board <br />November 26, 2024 <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Enriquez, I've been advised by our Secretary, can you submit a letter to <br />the Merit Appeals Board sending it to our Secretary, explaining such, and requesting more time <br />to secure the attorney. <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: Okay. <br />CHR. CABANAS: That way we'll have written documentation for our files. <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: Okay. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you. <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: So, how long would I get —would I wait until after the holidays `cause that <br />response from the EEOC was not —well, will not be available till at least December 23rd—it's <br />what they said in the letter. So, they had twenty (inaudible) days from, I think Saturday is when <br />they received it or Sunday —`cause I sent it certified and they responded back —said they <br />received it but they have 20 business days to respond. So, they have until December 23rd if they <br />not counting holidays and weekends. So <br />MR. WISEMAN: Madam Chair? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Wiseman? <br />MR. WISEMAN: Mr. Enriquez, when you say you're waiting for the response —so they haven't <br />made a decision to take the case or not, yet —is that right? <br />MR. ENRIOUEZ: Who was that —the EEOC? <br />MR. WISEMAN: EEOC they haven't made a decision as to whether you have a good claim or <br />not. Is that right? <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: Well, they closed out the they closed out my case but before we find out <br />what's inside the file, inside their file then, I'm supposed to get that information to the attorney <br />to see if the attorney's going to take the case. <br />MR. WISEMAN: I understand but —in closing the case —so they denied to hear it. Is that right? <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: Well, they closed it at intake, but I'm appealing that right now. I'm writing <br />out an appeal because I felt that the closure was <br />MR. WISEMAN: Okay. Again, I would have to defer to our Counsel but I know in court, you <br />must wait till EEOC gives you they deny the claim and say, "Okay, you can go to court now." <br />Page 13 <br />
