Re: Nance v Westcare Foundation, Inc., Control No. 090714051
Nance v State of Illinois Department of Corrections, Control No. 090714051
Mr. Roeser:
On July 17, 2008 I received correspondence from the Illinois Department of Human Rights stating “The United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Illinois Department of Human Rights (Department) are parties to a cooperative agreement. Under this agreement, when you filed your charge of discrimination with the EEOC it was automatically filed with the Department. The Department is keeping a copy of your EEOC charge on file to preserve jurisdiction under Illinois law. This letter is to inform you that you may proceed with your charge at the Department. This does not affect the processing of your charge at EEOC. If you wish to proceed with the Department, you must notify the Department in writing of your decision, either by mail or in person, within 35 days of receipt of this letter. Please include the Control Number indicated above on the letter you send to the Department regarding this charge…As stated above, this letter does not affect the processing of your charge at the EEOC, and does not apply to any settlement of this charge the parties have made with the EEOC.”
On or about July 21, 2008 I will submit this letter/correspondence requesting to proceed with my charge at the Department, as long as it does not negate the processing or jurisdiction of EEOC to prosecute and/or litigate my charges against Westcare Foundation, Inc. and the Illinois Department of Corrections. This request embraces the cooperative agreement with the Department and EEOC, preserving jurisdiction for both the Department and EEOC.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred L Nance Jr., ABD, MA, CADC, NCRS
