(Rev. 12/6/12) INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING A LAWSUIT UNDER THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964 (EEOC 42:2000) This is in response to your inquiry about a lawsuit you may wish to bring under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Under this law the Court is, upon application by a complainant, permitted to appoint an attorney for the applicant and to allow commencement of the action without prepayment of fees, costs or security. Any such application is, at the direction of this Court, to be in writing and to be filed with this office. Forms for these applications are available upon request or on our website (www.lawd.uscourts.gov). You are cautioned that any lawsuit under Title VII to be brought by you or on your behalf must be filed within 90 days after receipt by you of the EEOC's "right-to-sue" notice. A delay on your part in filing an application for appointment of an attorney or waiver of prepayment of fees may result in loss of rights under Title VII. The clerk will automatically refer any motions you submit in connection with your complaint to the appropriate judge or magistrate judge, and will promptly send you copies of any orders signed in response to your motions. If your case is allowed to be filed, the order will reflect a Civil Action number which you should provide with all future inquiries and pleadings.
