UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 93-1437
JESSICA D. WOOD,
Plaintiff, Appellee,
v.
MANAGEMENT SEARCH CORPORATION,
Defendant, Appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Frank H. Freedman, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Cyr, Boudin and Stahl,
Circuit Judges.
Jessica D. Wood on brief pro se.
Debra I. Lerner and Long, Racicot & Bourgeois on brief for
appellee.
Per Curiam. Plaintiff Jessica D. Wood appeals the
dismissal of her Title VII claim as not timely filed. We
find no error and affirm essentially for the reasons stated
in the district court's memorandum and order dated March 17,
1993. Wood admittedly received the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission's determination and 90-day right-to-
sue notice on September 21, 1990. This complaint was filed
91 days later, on December 21, 1990. Compliance with the
Title VII time for filing a federal suit, 42 U.S.C. 2000e-
5(f)(1), is a statutory prerequisite: a complaint must be
filed within 90 days of receipt of the EEOC right-to-sue
letter. "In the absence of a recognized equitable
consideration, the court cannot extend the limitation period
by even one day." Rice v. New England College, 676 F.2d 9,
11 (1st Cir. 1982); see also Peete v. American Standard
Graphic, 885 F.2d 331, 331-32 (6th Cir. 1989); Harvey v. New
Bern Police Dep't., 813 F.2d 652, 653 (4th Cir. 1987); Mosel
v. Hills Dep't. Store, Inc., 789 F.2d 251, 252 (3d Cir.
1986). As Wood does not claim that she had insufficient time
within which to act, and no equitable reasons are presented
to warrant disregarding the 90-day rule, the district court
correctly dismissed the complaint as untimely.
Affirmed.
