Docket

*1 Before: SCHROEDER, RAWLINSON, and NGUYEN, Circuit Judges. *2 Deborah Williamson-Bess appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment dismissing her action alleging claims under Title VII. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo a dismissal under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2) or § 1915A. Watison v. Carter , 668 F.3d 1108, 1112 (9th Cir. 2012); Wilhelm v. Rotman , 680 F.3d 1113, 1118 (9th Cir. 2012). We affirm.

The district court properly dismissed Williamson- Bess’s action because Williamson-Bess did not file her complaint within 90 days of receiving a right-to- sue notice from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). See Payan v. Aramark Mgmt. Servs. Ltd. P ’ ship , 495 F.3d 1119, 1121 (9th Cir. 2007) (explaining that 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1) requires a claimant to file a civil lawsuit within 90 days of receiving a right to sue notice from the EEOC).

AFFIRMED.
