Lateshia Patillo Plaintiff - Appellant v. Sysco Foods of Arkansas LLC Defendant - Appellee Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Amicus on Behalf of Appellant
Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock [Unpublished] Before SHEPHERD, MURPHY, and KELLY, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM.
Lateshia Patillo appeals the district court's order dismissing her employment-discrimination action, for failure to exhaust administrative remedies. Upon de novo review, see Blakley v. Schlumberger Tech. Corp., 648 F.3d 921, 931 (8th Cir. 2011), we vacate the dismissal order and remand the case to the district court. The court is instructed to reconsider the issues in this case, including whether an intake questionnaire Patillo filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission constituted a valid administrative charge of discrimination, in light of Supreme Court precedent including Fed. Express Corp. v. Holowecki, 552 U.S. 389 (2008), and Edelman v. Lynchburg Coll., 535 U.S. 106 (2002).
