   MEMORANDUM

Richard Hobbs, a former employee of the United States Census Bureau, appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment holding that his complaint for employment discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5, was time-barred. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Hobbs did not contact an EEOC counselor within 45 days of the alleged discrimination, as required by 29 C.F.R. § 1614.105(a)(1). The posters in the Census Bureau offices served as constructive notice to Hobbs of the 45-day requirement. See Johnson v. Henderson, 314 F.3d 409, 415 n. 4 (9th Cir.2002). Further, Hobbs filed his complaint more than a year after the EEOC’s final dismissal of his claim, long after the 90-day period during which a claimant may file a civil action after the EEOC’s dismissal. See Nelmida v. Shelly Eurocars, Inc., 112 F.3d 380, 383 (9th Cir.1997); 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(1). The filing of a motion to amend a complaint by another litigant in another action with different legal and factual issues did not constitute the filing of a civil action by Hobbs.

AFFIRMED.
