Hawkes v. United States Postal Service

November 13, 1992, Submitted: After preliminary examination of the briefs, the court notified the parties that it had tentatively
concluded that oral argument would not be helpful to the court. The notice provided that any party might file a "Statement
as to Need of Oral Argument." See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a), Circuit Rule 34(f). Appellee filed a response stating that it deemed
oral argument unnecessary but asking leave to cite additional authority. That request is granted, and the appeal is submitted
for decision on the briefs and record.
