ORDER
This matter arises upon a Motion for Summary Judgment filed by Defendant Newark Public Schools; and Plaintiff Darnella Lee having filed no opposition; and the Court having reviewed all of the parties' submissions in this case; and Plaintiff having alleged in her Complaint that she received a Notice-of-Right-to Sue Letter ("Notice") from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on May 1, 2006; and Plaintiff having filed this action on August 1, 2006; and the Court having found that Plaintiff failed to file this action within ninety (90) days of receiving the Notice as required under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1); and the Court noting that this statute of limitations is strictly construed; and Plaintiff having failed to provide any explanation for the delay in filing justifying a basis for equitable tolling, and therefore, the Court finding that dismissal of Plaintiff's Complaint is appropriate under Burgh v.

IT IS on this 23rd day of June, 2008, hereby,
