UNITED Lat fe RICT JUDGE

(T]he Eighth Circuit has held that, under Title VII, a dismissal without prejudice operates to leave a plaintiff as if no action had been filed. /d. (citing Moore v. St. Louis Music Supply Co., Inc., 539 F.2d 1191, 1194 (8th Cir. 1976)). Thus, any dismissal of a Title VII or ADEA case that occurs, as it did here, more than 90 days after the right to sue letter issued is, in substance, a dismissal with prejudice.” Faulkner v. Townsell, No. 4:18-CV-00353 KGB, 2020 WL 2818512, at *8 (E.D. Ark. May 28, 2020).
