Case Summary

In September 1999, the Jackson office of the EEOC brought this suit against Golf Coast Medical Center/Tenet Healthcare Corp in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. In February 2001, the defendant filed a motion for summary judgment, and the court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendant in June 2001. Both parties filed notices of appeal in August 2001, but the appeals were dismissed in October 2001. Because the docket is the only accessible document, no information on the nature of the suit is available.
