SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Procedural Schedule 

II. Additional Case Management Procedures 

III. Ruling 

I. Procedural Schedule 

Intervention. The deadline to file a 

notice of intervention pursuant to 39 

CFR 3010.142 is February 21, 2025. 

Discovery. At the prehearing video 

conference conducted on February 4, 

2025, the parties agreed to a discovery 

process based upon the date that the 

Commission issues an Order addressing 

the Postal Service’s pending motion.1

The parties agreed to propound 

discovery independently upon each 

other. Information requests may be 

transmitted via email, with the 

Presiding Officer cc’ed, no later than 10 

days after the date that the Commission 

issues an Order resolving the Motion.2

Information requests need not be filed 

on the Commission’s public docket. 

Responses to information requests are 

due no later than 21 days after 

submission to the other party. 

Responses to information requests will 

be transmitted via email, with the 

Presiding Officer cc’ed, by the date and 

time due. Responses to information 

requests need not be filed on the 

Commission’s public docket. The 

Presiding Officer may also issue 

information requests. 39 CFR 

3010.106(c)(3). The parties are advised, 

however, that the burden rests on the 

parties to request the evidence that they 

need to support their case. 

Prehearing videoconference. A 

prehearing videoconference will be held 

shortly after the deadline for parties to 

respond to information requests. The 

Presiding Officer will issue a 

subsequent Presiding Officer Ruling 

scheduling the prehearing 

videoconference with a date certain as 

that deadline approaches. The 

videoconference will discuss 

procedures for the presentation of 

evidence and legal arguments, the need 

for any additional information requests, 

as well as the resolution of any pending 

discovery-related disputes. Additional 

prehearing conference may be 

scheduled as needed. 

Presentation of evidence. The issue of 

whether the hearing will involve the 

presentation of oral versus written 

testimony (including whether it may be 

appropriate to supplement written 

testimony with oral testimony for 

certain witnesses on particular issues in 

dispute) will be addressed more fully at 

next prehearing videoconference. 

Hearing. The date on which the 

hearing of evidence shall begin will be 

addressed at the next prehearing 

teleconference. 

II. Additional Case Management 

Procedures 

Good faith effort to confer. A good 

faith effort to confer with the opposing 

party requires at least the placing of one 

telephone call or the transmittal of one 

email message to the opposing party or 

its counsel. 

Discovery motions. The parties must 

make a good faith effort to confer with 

the opposing party to attempt to resolve 

any discovery dispute before filing any 

motions related to discovery. The 

Presiding Officer will not entertain a 

motion to compel discovery, motion for 

sanctions, motion for protective order, 

or any other discovery motions until 

this good faith effort has been made. If 

this good faith effort is unsuccessful, the 

motion shall (1) state that a good faith 

effort has been made to resolve the 

dispute, (2) attach each disputed 

discovery request, answer, and objection 

(if applicable), (3) provide available 

dates and times for a hearing to be 

conducted by videoconference, and (4) 

concisely state the relief sought, the 

basis therefor, and the authority relied 

upon. Any party opposing the motion 

shall file a response no later than 7 days 

after the motion is filed. See 39 CFR 

3010.160(b). No replies shall be 

permitted without the express 

authorization of the Presiding Officer. 

See 39 CFR 3010.160(c). Failure to file 

a timely response may result in the 

motion being deemed unopposed. The 

Presiding Officer may decide the 

dispute based on the motion and any 

response, set a hearing to be conducted 

by videoconference, or order further 

briefing. 

Extension of time or continuance. If 

either party seeks an extension of time 

or continuance, they must make a good 

faith effort to confer with the opposing 

party to determine a proposed mutually 

agreeable date before filing a motion. 

The motion must be filed before the 

specific deadline expires and shall state 

whether the other party opposes the 

motion. Extensions of time or 

continuances will only be granted for 

good cause shown. 

Waiver or modification. If either party 

seeks to waive or modify the terms of 

any Presiding Officer’s Ruling, the party 

must make a good faith effort to confer
