Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Georgia
________________________
(December 17, 2010)
Before BLACK, BARKETT and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Gerald Campbell appeals the district court’s dismissal of his employment
discrimination suit. Campbell challenges the court’s denial of his request for

appointed counsel. However, Campbell’s request was moot because his Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission complaint was untimely—well beyond the
180-day limit. Equitable tolling was inapplicable to this deadline because
Campbell did not provide any reason for his late filing. See Zipes v. Trans World
Airlines, Inc., 455 U.S. 385, 398 (1982). Thus, the court correctly dismissed his
case and denied his request for counsel as moot.
AFFIRMED.
