Asked over 2 years ago - Atlanta, GA

I submitted an appeal for an eeo decision in July 2009 but I have not been given a decision. I requested a informa pauperis and an attorney. In the decision of the eeo, the judge also requested that an attorney be appointed for me and that a wavier be granted for payment of fees to the court. I do not know what to do about this situation. I spoke with the cleck inguiring about the delay and I was told that they will get to it when they get to it .

The clerk is your best source and you were right to check. Such a matter pending for three or four months is not uncommon at all.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
