Judicial Oversight and EEOC Instruction Petition

To: Hon. Deputy Chief, Disability Rights Section
CC: EEOC Norfolk Field Office, DOJ, DOL, SEC, OIG, OSIG, Governor Glenn Youngkin, Delegate Michael Feggans

I. Procedural Urgency

Following the submission of a formal ADA complaint on December 31, 2024, my employment was terminated less than 48 hours later on January 2, 2025. This close proximity raises red flags under:

II. Procedural Violations Warranting Judicial Inquiry

III. Request for Judicial Review & Instruction

I respectfully request the following:

IV. McLendon Case Comparison

The Leon McLendon v. Cox Communications Hampton Roads, L.L.C. case provides a direct and disturbing precedent. In both McLendon’s and my case:

This history removes any doubt as to Cox’s pattern of ADA retaliation and systemic failures.

V. Final Note

The facts surrounding my January 2nd termination — occurring after a December 31st DOJ complaint — show textbook retaliatory timing. I urge immediate judicial intervention, mandatory expansion of EEOC investigatory scope, and multi-agency review in accordance with applicable federal protections.

Sincerely,
Thomas D. Coates
