Question presented

Whether service of process is relevant in a psycho­ logical disability case when the equal protection component of the Due Process Clause confers on all federal employees injured in the line-of-duty, a federal constitutional right to be free from any discrimination, that would prevent cases involving Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from being in every way expedited? 42 U.S. Code § 2000e-5(f)(5), “ ... to cause the case to be in every way expedited.” Whether or not the National Park Service municipality or its properly constituted legislative body’s putatively unconstitutional actions should be a consideration in determining “good cause” for a psychologically disa­ bled employee’s inability to effectuate service of pro­ cess; otherwise, tolling the death knell for their entire cause of action?
