 ORDER

 

On July 22, 2010, the plaintiff commenced a Title VII employment

discrimination action. Rather than setting forth the required factual allegations in

the body of the complaint, the complaint states that it incorporates by reference

the factual allegations included in the plaintiff’s EEOC charge of discrimination

and the EEOC’s right to sue letter attached as exhibits to the complaint; the

exhibits were not in fact attached to the complaint filed with the Court. Since the

complaint, as filed, fails to allege facts sufficient to state a claim for relief pursuant

to the standards of Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (2007) and

Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937 (2009)1

, the Court will sua sponte dismiss it with

than an unadorned, the-defendant-unlawfully-harmed-me accusation. A pleading

that offers labels and conclusions or a formulaic recitations of the elements of a

cause of action will not do. Nor does a complaint suffice if it tenders naked

assertions devoid of further factual enhancement.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct.

1937, 1949 (2009) (Internal quotation marks, citations, and brackets omitted).

leave to refile. The plaintiff shall file an amended complaint that sets forth in its

body sufficient facts to meet the Twombly/Iqbal standard. Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the plaintiff’s Complaint (Doc. 1) is dismissed without

prejudice.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the plaintiff shall file an amended

complaint no later than August 6, 2010 that alleges sufficient facts to state a

claim for relief.

DATED this 27th day of July, 2010.
