In March 2006 a consent decree was entered and it was signed by the judge 5 days later. The decree, which was good for 3 years, provided for the Defendant to pay the charging party $23,750; post a notice regarding its non-discrimination policy; distribute said notice and require its employees to sign and return an acknowledgement that they received the notice; and provide 4 hours of non-discrimination training to its management employees.

The docket sheet does not show any further enforcement; the case was presumably closed in 2009.
