The Dallas District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against The Cooper Aerobics Center, and various similar entities, in July of 1997, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The suit was brought by the EEOC for alleged harassment under Title VII and for retaliation for a complaint under Title VII. The complainant intervened in the suit. Ultimately after a 5 day trial the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs on the retaliation claim. However, the court dismissed the Title VII harassment claim.

Both sides continued to fight over the amount of damages to award for 5 months after the jury returned its verdict. Ultimately, after court ordered mediation the court entered its final judgment to the tune of $148,108.15. Of this money the complainant receives $115,098.15, while the remainder is set aside for attorneys fees. Ultimately the court refused to grant an injunction or demand that the defendants reinstate the complainant.
