Lucius T. SOLOMON, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. C. Hugh HARDISON, Et Al., Defendants-Appellees
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided January 10, 1985No. 83-8658PublishedCited by 21 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
HATCHETT, Circuit Judge:
In this case, we examine whether the trial court properly dismissed Solomon’s (appellant) claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 2000e-2000e-17 (West 1981), and 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West 1974). The court dismissed appellant’s Title VII claim because he had not obtained a right-to-sue letter from the Attorney General. The court dismissed appellant’s section 1983 claim because it was time barred under a 180-day statute of limitations used by the district court. We hold that the court erred as to both claims and, thus, reverse.
