Case Summary

In March 1998, the EEOC district office in Baltimore, Maryland brought this suit against the Floyd County Board of Supervisors, and its individual members in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia. The complaint is not currently available. Notably, an individual female attempted in intervene in the suit but the EEOC successfully moved to exclude her. Still, in October 1998 the court dismissed the case after an individual defendant moved for partial summary judgment and dismissal.
