DISCRIMINATION PROCEEDING

Docket No. WEST 2007-811-DM
RM MD 2006-06



San Mission Mine
Mine ID 02-00135

AMENDED

ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR REASSIGNMENT

ORDER DENYING STAY OF ASSIGNMENT ORDER

ORDER TO FILE COMPLAINT

 

            My November 8, 2007 order is amended as follows (amended language is in bold italics):

            

            Jaxun’s request for reassignment is DENIED, and, as Jaxun has provided no basis for a stay, the request for stay of the Order of Assignment is also DENIED. This case will proceed pursuant to the Mine Act and the Commission’s Procedural Rules.


            In addition, as Docket No. WEST 2007-811-DM is a new case before the Commission, Jaxun is ORDERED to submit the following within 30 days of the date of this order:


                        1. A copy of the original complaint to the Mine

                             Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).


                        2. A copy of the return receipt (green card) from

delivery of the complaint to the mine operator.

If he has not done so already, Jaxun must send the

complaint to the operator by certified mail, return

receipt requested. A note to the operator should be

enclosed indicating Jaxun’s disagreement with MSHA's

determination and stating that he is requesting the

                             Commission’s review of the case.


                        3. A statement of the relief sought, such as

 

                        4. A copy of the letter from MSHA stating that its

                             investigation determined that a discrimination did

                             not occur.


            Jaxun’s 30-day time period begins from the date of this order rather than the date of the November 8 order.
