PER CURIAM.

Appellate Case: 15-3040 Page: 1 Date Filed: 12/09/2016 Entry ID: 4477966 
Ronald Cherry appeals after the district court dismissed his Title VII 1

complaint as barred by the statute of limitation, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1) (providing

90-day limitation period to run from notice of dismissal of charge of discrimination). 

Both in the district court and on appeal, Mr. Cherry has maintained that equitable

tolling should be applied, in light of an earlier action that was dismissed without

prejudice. After carefully reviewing the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal,

we conclude that the district court’s decision was proper. See Richter v. Advance

Auto Parts, Inc., 686 F.3d 847, 851 (8th Cir. 2012) (explaining application of statute

of limitation); cf. Garfield v. J.C. Nichols Real Estate, 57 F.3d 662, 666 (8th Cir.

1995) (“A dismissal without prejudice does not toll a statute of limitation.”). 

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
