Appeal from judgment of the District Court for the Eastern District of New York (Dora Irizarry, Chief Judge ).

UPON DUE CONSIDERATION, HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, DECREED judgment District Court appellant Elsa Frederick (“Frederick”) appeals from District Court Eastern District New York (Irizarry, C.J.) entered April 1, 2016, principally dismissing her claims against Corporation (“JetBlue”) as untimely. alleged was victim race and age discrimination in violation Title VII Civil Rights Act 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.
