Merit Appeals Board <br />November 26, 2024 <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: Well, yeah, they gave me a letter saying that I have a right to sue —was, <br />basically, what you said. <br />MR. WISEMAN: All right. <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: Okay. <br />MR. WISEMAN: Thank you. That's (inaudible). <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: Yeah. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Mr. Enriquez, I'm getting a little confused because you filed a complaint to <br />EEOC. So, did they provide you with a letter to why your claim —denied your complaint or <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: They didn't deny in my claim —complaint —they closed the case their case, <br />but they gave me a right to sue letter. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. <br />MR. ENRIQUEZ: So, they're not saying that it was justified or not justified. They just said that <br />it was closed out and this is your right to sue letter. So, right now, I'm requesting what <br />information they have in the file. So, whatever information they got from whoever <br />investigated —if they get anything from (inaudible), that's the information I'm waiting for. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. Thank you for the explanation. Mr. Halvorson, can you advise the <br />Board at this point? <br />MR. HALVORSON: The fact that EEOC has given him a right to sue raises the issue of <br />whether or not there's —Merit Appeals Board has jurisdiction to hear his case. If it's a <br />discrimination case, his recourse at this point would be to sue in court. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. We do have a motion on the floor to allow an extension for <br />Mr. Enriquez and we did not state a deadline for him to obtain legal counsel. Should we do that <br />at this point? <br />MR. HALVORSON: You're asking me? <br />CHR. CABANAS: Yes. <br />MR. HALVORSON: Yes. I think you should. <br />CHR. CABANAS: And what would be the appropriate timeline to be fair to Mr. Enriquez and <br />the County. <br />Page 14 <br />
