Case Summary

In April 1997, the Memphis office of the EEOC brought this suit against Enrichment Pre-Schools, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The docket suggests that the case was brought under Title VII. The defendant's two motions for summary judgment were denied. After a settlement conference, the parties reached a settlement by entry of a consent decree in January 1999. Because the docket is the only accessible document, no information on the consent decree is available.
