PER CURIAM.

Emanuel Swinton appeals the district court’s adverse grant of summary 1

judgment in his pro se Title VII employment-discrimination action against his former

The Honorable Howard F. Sachs, United States DistrictJudge for the Western 1

District of Missouri.

employer. We review de novo, see Spears v. Missouri Dep’t of Corr. & Human Res.,

210 F.3d 850, 853 (8th Cir. 2000), and we agree with the district court that Swinton’s

claims ofrace-based discriminatory discharge and retaliation are time-barred because

he filed his lawsuit over seven months late. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1); Baldwin

Cty. Welcome Ctr. v. Brown, 466 U.S. 147, 149 (1984) (per curiam) (Title VII

plaintiff must file suit within 90 days of receiving right-to-sue letter from the Equal

Employment Opportunity Commission). Contrary to Swinton’s assertion, the 90-day

filing window applies equally to claims of race-based retaliation.

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