The Phoenix District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against B & B Management Inc., doing business as Taco Bell, in March 2003, in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. The case alleged that the manager sexually harassed four complainants and an undisclosed class of female workers in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Some were directly retaliated against for their complaints and some were constructively discharged. The suit appears to have only had a status conference and then a consent decree was issued as to non-monetary relief on November 14, 2003. Then in March 2004 the court found that the case was resolved. The reason for no monetary relief is likely that the defendant was going through chapter 11 bankruptcy at the time.

The consent decree contained only injunctive relief. This relief consisted of EEO training, a new anti-discrimination policy, reporting every 6 months, choosing complaint investigators, establishing a complaint investigation procedure, and posting notice. The decree lasted 36 months.
