“I fully understand that by agreeing to this settlement, I waive my rights to any further appeal of my allegation(s) through the EEO process. I further state that this agreement did not result from harassment, threats, coercion or intimidation. I am fully aware that any settlement agreement knowingly and voluntarily agreed to by the parties, reached at any stage of the complaint process is binding on both parties. Should I believe the Postal Service has failed to adhere to the stipulations contained in this agreement for any reason not attributable to my acts or conduct, I must notify the EEO Compliance and Appeals Coordinator located in my area, in writing, of the alleged noncompliance within 30 calendar days of the alleged noncompliance ... Management agrees to the aforementioned stipulation solely in an effort to resolve the complainant’s allegation(s), and this agreement should not be construed as an admission of discrimination or wrongdoing on the part of any official of the U.S. Postal Service.”

(1) A memorandum in opposition to a motion for summary judgment shall begin with a section that contains a concise statement of material facts as to which the party contends a genuine issue exists. Each fact in dispute shall be numbered by paragraph, shall refer with particularity to those portions of the record upon which the opposing party relies, and, if applicable, shall state the number of movant’s fact that is disputed. (2) If the party opposing summary judgment relies on any facts not in movant’s memorandum, that party shall set forth each additional fact in a separately numbered paragraph, supported by references to the record, in the manner required by subsection (a), above. All material facts set forth in this statement of the non-moving party shall be deemed admitted for the purpose of summary judgment unless specifically controverted by the reply of the moving party.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Williams v. Potter“Reading the pretrial order as a whole, it is clear that plaintiff alleges discrete, independent acts of race and sex discrimination in EEOC complaints which she filed after she settled EEO Complaint Number 1085-94. See infra, footnote 11. Defendant has not addressed the merits of these claims. The Court therefore finds that defendant is not entitled to summary judgment on plaintiff's claims of discrimination on the bases of race and sex.”
