On January 26, 2007, an employee filed a lawsuit under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994, 38 U.S.C. §§ 4301-4333 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana against Don A. Scoggins d/b/a Five Star Janitorial. The plaintiff asked the court for injunctive and compensatory relief, alleging that the defendant willfully terminated his employment because of his military service in the Louisiana Army National Guard.
A consent decree was entered by the District Court (Judge Rebecca F. Doherty) on January 31, 2007 that stated: (1) the defendant shall not take any action against any person that constitutes retaliation or interference for assisting or participating in the investigation; (2) the defendant shall not refuse to hire any individual or discharge any employee based on military service obligations; and (3) the defendant shall pay the plaintiff compensatory damages.
This case was dismissed on July 26, 2007.
