GOOGLE, INC., Defendant. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Manuel Alvarez Cabello Ramirez, a prisoner at the Federal Correctional Institution in Herlong, California, filed this pro se action against his former employer—Google, Inc.—alleging employment discrimination. A review of the complaint shows that Mr. Ramirez is attempting to bring this action on behalf of the United States under the enforcement provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et. seq. Mr. Ramirez’s claim cannot proceed at this time because the enforcement provisions require that the civil action be brought by EEOC itself. Id. § 2000e-5(f)(1). If Mr. Ramirez seeks to bring an employment discrimination claim under federal law, he first must exhaust the administrative process at the EEOC, as set forth in 29 C.F.R. Part 1614. Mr. Ramirez has made no allegation or shown that he has complied with this exhaustion requirement. 1 Accordingly, this action is DISMISSED without prejudice to Mr. Ramirez filing an 2 employment discrimination claim in state court, or filing a new federal action after he has 3 exhausted his administrative remedies. 4 IT IS SO ORDERED. 5 Dated: September 7, 2017 6 7 MARIA-ELENA JAMES United States Magistrate Judge 8 9 10 United States District Court Northern District of California 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
