Case Summary

In September 2000, the EEOC district office in New York brought this action against Solomon Smith Barney, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint is unavailable. After numerous stipulations to extend the time for the defendant to file its initial answer, the parties settled the case and a consent decree was entered in July 2001. Although the consent decree is unavailable, the docket states that the defendant agreed to pay an unknown number of complainants a lump sum of $635,000, and that the terms of the decree ran for two years.
