UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ADAM MCDONALD,

Plaintiff, No. C 07-4249 PJH

v. ORDER

SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL 

DISTRICT,

Defendant.

_______________________________/

The court has read and considered the declaration filed by plaintiff Adam McDonald

pursuant to the court’s order of October 24, 2007. Based on the fact that the right-to-sue

letter was mailed by the EEOC on May 16, 2007, the court would ordinarily presume that

the letter had arrived on May 19, 2007. 

Plaintiff asserts that he did not receive the letter until “the 21st at the earliest.” The

court finds it reasonable, based on the fact that the letter was mailed to the wrong address,

that delivery would have taken an additional two days beyond the presumed three days for

delivery. 

The complaint was required to be filed within 90 days of the date of receipt of the

right-to-sue letter. That date was August 19, 2007. However, August 19, 2007, was a

Sunday. Thus, the complaint, which was filed on Monday, August 20, 2007, was timely

filed. 

Accordingly, the motion of defendant San Francisco Unified School District to

dismiss the complaint as untimely filed is DENIED. Defendant’s remaining grounds for

seeking dismissal remain valid, as set forth in the court’s order of October 24, 2007. In

accordance with that order, plaintiff must file an amended complaint if he wishes to avoid

having the case dismissed. As stated in the order, the deadline for filing the amended

complaint is Wednesday, December 5, 2007. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
