MEMORANDUM*

2

Louis R.D. Ervin appeals pro se the district court's dismissal as untimely of his third employment discrimination action brought pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e. We affirm.

3

The district court properly dismissed Ervin's Title VII action as untimely because he did not file this action within ninety days of his receipt of a right-to-sue letter from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1); Edwards v. Occidental Chemical Corp., 892 F.2d 1442, 1445 (9th Cir.1990) (citation omitted). Ervin received the right-to-sue letter on December 8, 1994, but did not file this action in district court until December 8, 1996, far beyond the ninety-day period.1

AFFIRMED.

**

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R.App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4

We do not consider Ervin's contention that the district court should have tolled the deadline for paying the filing fee in Ervin v. Fisherman's Restaurant, C95-355WD, because Ervin failed to file a notice of appeal from that decision. Ervin's request for mandamus relief is denied
