Heading: Unperfected Recent Title VII Claim

Text: 21 Chung alleges that the defendants denied him another promotion on February 28, 1979. Although he did not record this discriminatory act in his EEOC charge, it may be adjudicated along with his other Title VII claims so long as it was like or reasonably related to the allegations of the EEOC charge. Oubichon v. North American Rockwell Corp., 482 F.2d 569, 571 (9th Cir. 1973). The district court concluded that this act was not reasonably related, apparently relying on its premature holding of no continuing violation. As in Oubichon, we hold that a trial is necessary to determine whether this recent act was reasonably related to the discrimination alleged in the EEOC charge. If Chung can prove a pattern of discrimination, he may also be able to show that this recent act was part of the pattern. 22
