(Associated Press) The Supreme Court has decided not to revive lawsuits by former postal employees of Washington mail center who were exposed to anthrax.

The former employees had said that workers at the Brentwood postal center were deliberately kept on the job even though officials knew that workers had been exposed to anthrax in letters that were sent to Capitol Hill.

The lead plaintiff in the class action lawsuit brought against the U.S Postal Service, Dena Briscoe, of Clinton, Maryland, says the court’s decision not to hear the case mean’s “no one’s being held accountable.”

Briscoe, who now works at the Southern Maryland sorting facility says she still suffers from fatigue, chills and other symptoms she attributes to anthrax exposure.

Leroy Richmond, of Stafford, Virginia had filed a separate lawsuit and was seeking 50 (m) million dollars in damages.

Brentwood had to be closed in October of 2001 for 26 months while the building was decontaminated.

PostalReporter: A third Brentwood employee also filed a lawsuit over anthrax exposure. In  McQureerir v. United States of America, et al., the judge dismissed this case on April 25, 2006 based on the same reasons as set forth in Briscoe and Richmond lawsuits. (D.D.C., 05-02175 (HHK)
