Case Notes
Plaintiff's claims not time-barred, where defendant argued
that certain claims were time-barred because plaintiff failed to serve
defendant with complaint within ninety days of receipt of right to sue letters
and that plaintiff had no intent to serve defendant with original complaint;
among other things, plaintiff filed complaint within ninety days of receipt of
right to sue letters and plaintiff was not also required to serve defendant
within ninety-day period, plaintiff was only required to commence the civil
action by filing complaint. 75 F. Supp. 2d 1113.
