No. 4:14CV1250 TIA

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on its own motion. Plaintiff brings this action
under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for alleged employment discrimination.
“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). Plaintiff has not filed a copy of the
right-to-sue letter. Consequently the complaint is not properly before the Court, and the
Court will order the plaintiff to supplement the complaint by submitting a copy of the
right-to-sue letter within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this Order.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for leave to proceed in forma
pauperis [ECF No. 2] is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall submit a copy of the right-tosue letter within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this Order.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that if plaintiff fails to comply with this Order, the
Court will dismiss this action without further proceedings.
Dated this 18th day of July, 2014.
