Plaintiff,
v.
COCA-COLA,
Defendant,

No. 4:14CV1139 CEJ

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On June 23, 2014, plaintiff filed a complaint asserting a claim of employment
discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, et
seq.

“In order to initiate a claim under Title VII a party must timely file a charge of

discrimination with the EEOC and receive a right-to-sue letter.” Stuart v. General Motors Corp.,
217 F.3d 621, 630 (8th Cir. 2000). Because plaintiff has not filed a copy of his right-to-sue letter
from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the complaint is not properly
before the Court.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff shall submit a copy of his right-to-sue letter
from the EEOC within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to comply with this Order this action
will be dismissed without further notice to plaintiff.
Dated this 25th day of June, 2014.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
