Before SHEPHERD, MURPHY, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
                          ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Lateshia Patillo appeals the district court’s order dismissing her
employment-discrimination action, for failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
Upon de novo review, see Blakley v. Schlumberger Tech. Corp., 648 F.3d 921, 931
(8th Cir. 2011), we vacate the dismissal order and remand the case to the district
court. The court is instructed to reconsider the issues in this case, including whether
an intake questionnaire Patillo filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission constituted a valid administrative charge of discrimination, in light of
Supreme Court precedent including Fed. Express Corp. v. Holowecki, 552 U.S. 389
(2008), and Edelman v. Lynchburg Coll., 535 U.S. 106 (2002).
