Case Summary

In September 1999, the Birmingham District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Royer Homes of Mississippi, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. The charging parties intervened in the lawsuit in January 2000. Following some discovery and the denial of defendant's summary judgment motion in February 2001, the parties settled the dispute in May 2001 through a consent decree. We do not have a copy of the consent decree; therefore, the exact remedies are unknown.
