ORDER

THIS MATTER comes before the Court on its own motion following Plaintiff’s failure
to furnish the Court with the Notice of Charge that she filed with the EEOC. Plaintiff Monique
Brown, who is proceeding pro se, filed a Complaint, (Doc. No. 1), and a Motion to Proceed in
Forma Pauperis (“IFP Motion”), (Doc. No. 2), on June 2, 2016. In this action, Plaintiff alleges
that her former employer terminated her employment based on her age, in violation of the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq.
By order dated June 13, 2016, this Court directed Plaintiff, within twenty days, to furnish
the Court with her EEOC Notice of Charge so the Court may determine the scope of this lawsuit.
See Evans v. Techs. Applications & Serv. Co., 80 F.3d 954, 962-63 (4th Cir. 1996) (“The
allegations contained in the administrative charge of discrimination [before the EEOC] generally
operate to limit the scope of any subsequent judicial complaint.”). Plaintiff has not submitted her
EEOC Notice of Charge.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that:
1.

Plaintiff shall, within ten days of entry of this Order, furnish the Court with the
1

Notice of Charge that she filed with the EEOC. If Plaintiff fails to comply with this
Order, the Complaint will be dismissed without prejudice and without further notice.

Signed: July 14, 2016
