Case Summary

On March 30, 2010, six plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. The plaintiffs represented a putative class of female financial advisors employed in the United States by either Bank of America (at any time since March 16, 2006) or Merrill Lynch (at any time since March 7, 2008). Plaintiffs filed the lawsuit under the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206 et seq.; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U…

On March 30, 2010, six plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York against Bank of America and Merrill Lynch. The plaintiffs represented a putative class of female financial advisors employed in the United States by either Bank of America (at any time since March 16, 2006) or Merrill Lynch (at any time since March 7, 2008). Plaintiffs filed the lawsuit under the Equal Pay Act, 29 U.S.C. § 206 et seq.; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.; and anti-discrimination state laws in New York, Florida, Missouri, and New Jersey.

Specifically, plaintiffs alleged that defendants' discriminatory policies in compensation and business opportunities created a disparate impact on female financial advisors. Plaintiffs also alleged that defendants retaliated against them when they complained about the discrimination. Represented by private counsel, the plaintiffs sought injunctive relief, an award of back and front pay, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorneys' fees for alleged sex discrimination.

On October 26, 2011, defendants filed a motion to dismiss, which the court (Judge Joseph F. Bianco) denied on September 27, 2012. Calibuso v. Bank of America, 893 F. Supp. 2d 374 (E.D.N.Y. 2012). Relying on the Supreme Court's decision in Wal-Mart Stores v. Dukes earlier that year, defendants argued that plaintiffs' class claims could not meet the commonality requirements under 23(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure because the claims were based on subjective, managerial decisions. The court disagreed, reasoning that the plaintiffs in this case had alleged that discriminatory policies guided those subjective decisions, and that the Supreme Court in Dukes made clear that the commonality requirement could be satisfied "if the subjective decision-making was operated under a general policy of discrimination." Id. at 377 (internal citation and quotation marks omitted).

Following the order denying the defendants' motion to dismiss, the parties proceeded with discovery. On April 19, 2013, the case was reassigned to Judge Pamela K. Chen. On September 6, 2013, the parties submitted a proposed settlement for the court's approval.

On September 30, two individuals, one of them a class member, sought to intervene to represent African American women who they believed would be harmed by the programmatic relief in the proposed settlement. Along with one of the named plaintiffs, they also objected to the proposed settlement on the basis of the inadequacy of the proposed injunctive relief for the affected class of female financial advisors. On October 4, 2013, Judge Chen denied the motion to intervene. The intervenors filed a notice of appeal of this denial to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals on November 1, 2013, but ultimately withdrew their appeal after Judge Chen approved the class-action settlement on December 27, 2013. Prior to the approval of the settlement, the objectors and class counsel reached agreement based on certain changes to the original settlement proposal.

The approved settlement included attorneys' fees and costs, monetary relief to named plaintiffs, and a $775,000 settlement fund to resolve the individual non-class claims of four named plaintiffs. In addition to monetary relief, the settlement included programmatic relief, binding for three years from February 1, 2014. The programmatic relief included a study and periodic review by an independent settlement monitor, maintenance of a gender-neutral Account Distribution Policy, and quarterly reviews of account redistributions. The court retained jurisdiction over the case for those three years, and the case is now closed.
