Case Summary

In July 1997, the EEOC's Birmingham office filed this suit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi against Dover Elevator Systems, Inc. Although the only information available for this summary was the docket, it is known that the defendant answered the complaint in less than three months and, thereafter, the parties requested, and were granted, extensions of time until they were able to settle their dispute. The court signed off on a consent decree in July 1998 to end the litigation.
