Time to sue after EEOC notice

Section 2000e-5(f)(1) requires a Title VII plaintiff to sue within ninety days of receiving a right-to-sue letter, but that deadline is nonjurisdictional and subject to waiver, estoppel, and equitable tolling.

Bush v. Fordham University · filed 2006-09-25(f)(1)

Title VII requires a plaintiff to file the claim within ninety days of receipt of a right-to-sue letter from the EEOC or applicable state or local agency. ... Also, Fordham has not argued that Bush's Title VII discrimination claims are untimely. The ninety-day period is not jurisdictional but rather, "like a statute of limitations,” is "subject to waiver, estoppel, and equitable tolling.” ... For these reasons, the Court for the purpose of this ruling considers Bush’s initial complaint asserting Title VII claims filed on March 8, 2004 to be timely.

The requirement that a claimant file suit within ninety days of the administrative release is common to the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12117 (citing 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5), the ADEA, 29 U.S.C § 626(e), and the ICRA, Iowa Code § 216.16(3). ...

Title VII contains no language barring a plaintiff from presenting allegations in support of a hostile environment claim that he had advanced in a prior EEOC complaint but chosen not to litigate within 90 days of a right-to-sue letter.

Indeed, no Tenth Circuit or Supreme Court precedent indicates that § 2000e-5(f)(1)’s timely filing provision poses such a barrier to litigation of a hostile environment claim.
