ITEM 13.04 | TITLE VII EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS
The special packet for Title VII Employment Discrimination Cases may be obtained in person from the intake clerk in the Clerk’s Office, by mail from the Pro Se Office, and from the Western District Court web site at http://www.nywd.uscourts.gov. To start an action you must file an original and one copy of your complaint for each defendant you name. For example, if you name two defendants, you must file the original and two copies of the complaint. You should keep an additional copy of the complaint for your records. Attach to the back of each complaint one copy each of the following documents:
a) Original complaint filed with the EEOC
b) Notice of Right to Sue letter from the EEOC (make sure you include the date of the letter in the proper place on the complaint form)
(h) Origin:
check Box No. 1: Original Proceeding
(i) Under “Citizenship of Principal Parties,” leave blank
(j) Date, and sign your name, followed by "Pro Se" on the last line.
It is not requested that you attach “exhibits,” other than those required above. If you do, however, you must submit enough copies for all the complaint copies. Otherwise, they will not be served on the defendants.
IMPORTANT: If you cannot pay the filing fee and are applying for permission to proceed as a poor person, no papers will be served upon the defendants until the District Judge has granted you permission to proceed as a poor person and directed the United States Marshal to serve the complaint.
Congratulations! You're now booked up on Item 13.04 from USNYWD's Pro Se Handbook!
You might need to reference it during your pursuit of justice.
