PLAINTIFF BARRED FROM FILING TITLE VII ACTION AFTER RECEIVING RIGHT-TO-SUE LETTER
 
 
An employee's claim of race discrimination was dual filed with the EEOC and a city agency. The city agency closed the case after six years. A right-to-sue letter was issued by the EEOC. The Eighth Circuit barred the subsequent federal suit because of laches, finding that plaintiff's delay in filing was unreasonable and inexcusable and that defendant was prejudiced by the delay.
