Task: songer_typeiss

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the general category of issues discussed in the opinion of the court. Choose among the following categories. Criminal and prisioner petitions- includes appeals of conviction, petitions for post conviction relief, habeas corpus petitions, and other prisoner petitions which challenge the validity of the conviction or the sentence or the validity of continued confinement. Civil - Government - these will include appeals from administrative agencies (e.g., OSHA,FDA), the decisions of administrative law judges, or the decisions of independent regulatory agencies (e.g., NLRB, FCC,SEC). The focus in administrative law is usually on procedural principles that apply to administrative agencies as they affect private interests, primarily through rulemaking and adjudication. Tort actions against the government, including petitions by prisoners which challenge the conditions of their confinement or which seek damages for torts committed by prion officials or by police fit in this category. In addition, this category will include suits over taxes and claims for benefits from government. Diversity of Citizenship - civil cases involving disputes between citizens of different states (remember that businesses have state citizenship). These cases will always involve the application of state or local law. If the case is centrally concerned with the application or interpretation of federal law then it is not a diversity case. Civil Disputes - Private - includes all civil cases that do not fit in any of the above categories. The opposing litigants will be individuals, businesses or groups.

ORDER
Before EDWARDS, CELEBREZZE and PECK, Circuit Judges.
On receipt and consideration of an appeal in the above-styled case; and
Noting that the District Court dismissed this action brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq. (1970) alleging unlawful discharge from employment on account of religion on the ground that plaintiff had failed to file her claim for relief with the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights within 90 days of her discharge, as required by Kentucky law; and
Further noting that plaintiff had, however, filed her claim for relief within said 90 days with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission which had forwarded same to the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights, albeit as the result of EEOC administrative delays after the 90 days had elapsed; and
Further noting that the Supreme Court in a unanimous opinion in Love v. Pullman Co., 404 U.S. 522, 92 S.Ct. 616, 30 L.Ed.2d 679 (1972), held that where a timely complaint was filed with the EEOC, which forwarded it to the appropriate state civil rights agency, the Court saw “no reason why further action by the aggrieved party should be required.” Love v. Pullman Co., supra at 526, 92 S.Ct. at 618. We believe that the facts of our instant appeal place it within the purpose, if not the precise language, of the Supreme Court opinion cited above, which we hereby incorporate in full by reference.
We now hold that the administrative delay of the EEOC in this case in failing to follow its own established procedures does not defeat this claimant’s right to an action asserting religious discrimination in the United States District Court (see Mitchell v. Mid-Continent Spring Co. of Kentucky, 466 F.2d 24 (6th Cir. 1972)).
Wherefore the judgment of the District Court is reversed and this case is remanded for further proceedings.
On the ground that Love v. Pullman Co., 404 U.S. 522, 92 S.Ct. 616, 30 L.Ed.2d 679 (1972), permits the EEOC to forward a timely complaint to the appropriate state civil rights agency but does not require it to do so, and concluding that no filing with the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights has been made within the prescribed 90-day period following plaintiff-appellant’s discharge, Judge PECK dissents.
