I'm on my own
 
So, I presented  my discovery/embarrassing questions to my Agency/adversary's court for termination due to race,harrassment ....et al..
 
 Its been cordial btwn me and my "adversary"  - just business.
 
  I met my 20 day limit do produce discovery, with embarrassing questions, which we have 90 days and now approx. 60 days to resolve.
 
I just met my 30 day point with the Agency ( my adversary) to produce a  settlment offer. I did.
 
She says that she will present it to the NPS.(my opposing agency)
 
I get from this whole thing, that if I dont follow the rules, and meet my deadlines...she is oblivious to the whole situation. (so i did and feel like  -  I'm just another case) There has been no Judge appointed, no motion to dismiss any of my charges, and I want to Amend my complaint, to a non-existent Judge, and present more questions in each of my alloted 30 question area. ( I rushed various questions to meet my 20 day deadline - and have more) . There is no resistance from my opposition.
 
The assistant, at the Judge's place, states that it is routine, that a guy comes by and cherry-picks backed up files and says to settle this stuff.
 
I hope they settle - but feel they want me to "push forward" with my case and put me thru some more paperwork pain ...and then talk setttlement .
 
 Does this sound familiar to anyone?
 
I feel like I am just another number, in the middle of the machine, and hopefully, as we all know Ken Salazar's star isn't burning too brightly now and I got hope. But as I know from here, it's a 2% hope.

I have never seen a case where the EEOC has issued an order to conduct discovery without it coming from the administrative judge. 
 
Given the facts in your case, a removal during your probationary status and failure to select for another position while you were getting booted out of the door - don't expect any settlment other than possibly changing the probationary termination into a resignation.   You have a very short employment record with the agency and a probationary termination is incredibly easy to defend from the agency standpoint.
 
If you are hoping that your secretary's problems might ultimately benefit you - then you really are desparate and completely unrealistic about how the EEO process works.  Frankly, your chances at prevailing are far below the 2% rate.

Thanks Oosik - thats why I come here!   The good news is I'll probably have more great scenarios to come.
