Case Summary

In September 2003, the New York District Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. The charging party intervened in the suit in February 2004. Following a cross-claim by one defendant against another in November 2003 and a filing for summary judgment in March 2004, the case was voluntarily dismissed in April 2004.
