| Filing 7 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Pro se Plaintiff Tavares Maurice Tankersley sues his former employer, alleging race and national origin discrimination based upon the withholding of taxes from his paychecks, see #1 . But he concedes in his complaint that he never filed a charge with the EEOC. As a result, the Court dismisses Plaintiff's complaint. See Chaidez v. Ford Motor Co., 937 F.3d 998, 1004 (7th Cir. 2019) ("Before bringing a Title VII claim, a plaintiff must first exhaust his administrative remedies by filing charges with the EEOC and receiving a right to sue letter."); Conner v. Illinois Dep't of Nat. Res., 413 F.3d 675, 680 (7th Cir. 2005) ("There are several prerequisites for bringing a Title VII claim. A plaintiff must file a charge with the EEOC detailing the alleged discriminatory conduct within the time allowed by statute, and the EEOC must issue a right-to-sue letter."); Stepney v. Naperville Sch. Dist. 203, 392 F.3d 236, 239 (7th Cir. 2004) ("Under Title VII, a plaintiff in Illinois must file an employment discrimination charge with the EEOC within 300 days after the alleged unlawful employment practice occurred."). If Plaintiff can amend his complaint to cure this deficiency, he may do so by 5/31/24. If he fails to amend by this date, the Court will dismiss this case. Mailed notice (gel, ) |

| SUMMONS Issued as to Defendant Kevin Murphy (jcm) |
| Filing 5 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: This case has been assigned to the calendar of the Honorable John Robert Blakey. The litigants are ordered to review and fully comply with all of this Court's standing orders, which are available on Judge Blakey's information page on the Court's official website: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. In addition, the parties must file a status report no later than 4/19/2024, using the model template set forth in this Court's standing order regarding Initial (or Reassignment) Status Conferences. Failure by any party to file the status report by the requisite deadline (either jointly or, if necessary, individually with an explanation as to why a joint report could not be filed) may result in a summary dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute, or an entry of default against any served defendant(s) failing to comply with this order. During the litigation, the attorneys must also appear at all hearing dates set by the Court or noticed by the parties. If an attorney has a conflict with a set court date, the attorney must notify Judge Blakey's Courtroom Deputy, Gloria Lewis, at Gloria_Lewis@ilnd.uscourts.gov. If appropriate, the Court will then reset the matter. Advising opposing counsel of a scheduling conflict is not a substitute for communicating directly with the Court. Mailed notice (gel, ) |
