United States Second Circuit

Plaintiff failed to file a timely EEOC complaint within 300 days of the allegedly discriminatory act, as required by statute. Plaintiff is barred from arguing that her timely, but unsworn, letter to the EEOC should be treated as a formal EEOC complaint because she admitted in sworn statements that the letter was not a formal EEOC complaint.
