Task: songer_direct1

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Your task is to determine the ideological directionality of the court of appeals decision, coded as "liberal" or "conservative". Consider liberal to be for the position of the prisoner; for those who claim their voting rights have been violated; for desegregation or for the most extensive desegregation if alternative plans are at issue; for the rights of the racial minority or women (i.e., opposing the claim of reverse discrimination); for upholding the position of the person asserting the denial of their rights. Consider the directionality to be "mixed" if the directionality of the decision was intermediate to the extremes defined above or if the decision was mixed (e.g., the conviction of defendant in a criminal trial was affirmed on one count but reversed on a second count or if the conviction was afirmed but the sentence was reduced). Consider "not ascertained" if the directionality could not be determined or if the outcome could not be classified according to any conventional outcome standards.

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.
