See 39 CFR 3010.303(b). The Presiding 

Officer may also request oral testimony 

or cross-examination on his own 

motion. Id. 

To promote the efficient resolution of 

the remaining issues, the parties will 

file briefs and supporting evidence at 

the same time. The parties’ briefs shall 

address each of the two remaining 

disputed issues of fact identified by the

evidence presented supports or does not 

support the three elements of a claim of 

undue or unreasonable discrimination 

under 39 U.S.C. 403(c).1 The briefs 

should also comply with the relevant 

requirements of 39 CFR 3010.330(b) to

proposed findings of fact and 

conclusions of law. 

Complainant’s initial brief and the 

Postal Service’s answering brief may not

briefs and evidence shall be as follows:

Written Cross-Examination of 

Complainant’s Witnesses—January 5, 

2024 

Complainant’s Response to Written

Complainant’s Reply Witnesses— 

February 14, 2024 

Complainant’s Response to Written 

Cross-Examination, if necessary— 

February 21, 2024 

All submissions must be filed 

electronically on the Commission’s 

docket by 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on the 

date due. If either party seeks an 

extension of a filing deadline, that party 

must make a good faith effort to contact 

the opposing party to find a mutually 

agreeable new date before filing a 

motion for extension of time. This good 

faith effort requires the moving party to 

place at least one telephone call or send 

one email message to the opposing 

party. Any motion for extension of time 

must state whether the opposing party 

consents to the requested extension. 

Any motion by a party requesting oral 

cross-examination of any witness, or to 

make any other change to the hearing 

format, must be filed no later than 

February 16, 2024, if the Postal Service 

does not request written crossexamination of any of Complainant’s 

reply witnesses, or February 26, 2024, if 

the Postal Service does request written 

cross-examination of any of 

Complainant’s reply witnesses. A 

motion requesting oral crossexamination must identify the witness 

statement(s) at issue, explain why oral 

cross-examination is necessary to clarify 

the witness’ response to written crossexamination, and state what additional 

information or clarification may be 

adduced through oral cross-examination 

that would be helpful to resolve this 

case. See 39 CFR 3030.321(g)(5)(i). If 

permitted, oral cross-examination will 

be limited to matters within the scope 

of the written cross-examination. A 

party may not seek new information 

through oral cross-examination that 

could have been obtained through the 

initial written cross-examination. 

III. Ruling 

1. The parties and counsel shall 

follow the hearing format and schedule 

established by this Presiding Officer’s 

Ruling. 

2. The Secretary shall arrange for 

publication of the hearing schedule in 

the Federal Register.

Secretary.
