STEWART v. POSTMASTER GENERAL UNITED STATES (2020)

United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.

Dorothy M. STEWART, on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated, Appellant v. POSTMASTER GENERAL UNITED STATES

No. 18-3262

Decided: January 29, 2020

Before: McKEE, ROTH, and RENDELL, Circuit Judges.

Dennis L. Friedman, Esq., Philadelphia, PA, for Plaintiff-Appellant Christopher Amore, Esq., Kristin L. Vassallo, Esq., Office of United States Attorney, Newark, NJ, J. Andrew Ruymann, Esq., John T. Stinson, Jr., Esq., Office of United States Attorney, Trenton, NJ, Defendant-Appellee

OPINION *

Dorothy Stewart appeals the district court’s granting of Megan J. Brennan’s motion to dismiss. As the district court explains, by signing the Claim Form and Release in the Pittman class action on June 14, 2014, Stewart released “any right ․ to appeal the [s]ettlement [a]greement to the EEOC, any right ․ to file a civil action in a federal court related to the claims in this case, and any other right [she] might have to seek relief for a claim included within the Pittman class action.”¹

The district court’s well-reasoned opinion more than adequately addresses this and Stewart’s related claims, and we will therefore affirm substantially for the reasons set forth in that opinion.
