Case Summary

The EEOC's Charlotte Office filed this suit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte Division on December 17, 1997. The docket sheet, with only 18 entries, is the lone document available for this case. Therefore, it is unknown what violation was alleged or the relief obtained. After filing and consent to trial by magistrate, the magistrate referred the case to ADR August 21, 1998. Soon thereafter, on December 22, 1998 a consent decree was entered.
