UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BEFORE THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD

DIVISION OF JUDGES

UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

and Case 12-CA-316287

KELLMAN KIRKCONNELL

UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

and Case 12-CA-330861

KEREN WILLIAMS

ORDER

On May 27, 2025, the Respondent filed with the Board a Combined Motion to Dismiss or

for Summary Judgment. Because the Board currently lacks a quorum, the Motion has been

referred to me pursuant to Section 102.179 of the Board’s Rules and Regulations.

The Respondent’s Combined Motion to Dismiss or for Summary Judgment is denied.

The Respondent has not demonstrated that the consolidated complaints fail to state a claim upon

which relief can be granted and that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.1 This denial is

without prejudice to the Respondent’s right to renew its arguments before the Administrative

Law Judge at hearing or, if necessary, to the Board on exceptions.

Dated, Washington, D.C., June 23, 2025

Robert A. Giannasi

Chief Administrative Law Judge

1 I have disregarded all references to the extra-record evidence referenced in the Respondent’s

motion. See, e.g., Fund for the Public Interest, 360 NLRB 877, 877 fn.2 (2014). I therefore find it unnecessary to pass on the Acting General Counsel’s motion to strike the extra-record

evidence.
