The Court dismissed Townsend's claims relating to the first charge as untimely.3 On the second charge, Townsend did not show that she had exhausted her administrative remedies by first obtaining an EEOC right-to-sue letter. Thus, the Court dismissed claims relating to the second charge without prejudice.4

Plaintiff Townsend now moves to reopen the case, EEOC right-to-sue letter in hand.5 The Court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion to reopen and REOPENS the case for those claims athorized by the September 25, 2018 EEOC right-to-sue letter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
