Outcome

Plaintiff's Title VII employment discrimination lawsuit was dismissed as prematurely filed because she sued based on an early 'notice of right to sue' letter rather than waiting for the statutorily required notice (either dismissal of her EEOC charge or expiration of 180 days without agency action). The court held that the EEOC regulation permitting early right-to-sue letters exceeds the agency's statutory authority.
