Description
The plaintiff-appellant, Willis H. Pyles, has appealed the decision of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland granting summary judgment in favor of the appellee, the Postmaster General. In December 1988, Pyles returned to work at the United States Postal Service as a city letter carrier pursuant to a voluntary settlement agreement. Only days after his return, Pyles reinjured his back and submitted to the Postal Service medical reports restricting his activities. On January 5, 1989, Pyles received official notice that he would be terminated effective January 10, 1989. Pyles filed suit in federal court in May 1989, alleging that the Postal Service unlawfully discriminated against him because of his known mental and physical handicaps in violation of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 701 et seq. Pyles claimed that the Postal Service discriminated against him when it reinstated him to the position of letter carrier instead of as a manual distribution clerk, a position which he had previously held. He also charged that the Postal Service breached the settlement agreement that had been created to resolve a prior administrative complaint concerning his 1987 request for reinstatement. In addition, Pyles contended that the Postal Service discriminated against him when it terminated him shortly after his reinstatement without consideration of any reasonable accommodations.
