On October 19, 1999, the United States Department of Justice ("D.O.J.") filed a lawsuit under Title VII, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq., against the City of Dallas in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The DOJ sought injunctive relief, alleging that the defendant violated Title VII by discriminating against a black employee in the City of Dallas Police Department.
Specifically, the DOJ alleged that because of his race, Black, and in retaliation against him for previously filing charges of discrimination with the EEOC and raising an internal grievance alleging race discrimination in the City of Dallas Police Department, he was subjected to adverse personnel actions, suspended for two days, and denied a promotion to the rank of sergeant.
On October 25th, 1999, the Court (Judge Barefoot Sanders) granted a motion to consolidate the case with the earlier filed case Lee A. Bush v. City of Dallas, 3:98-cv-0365-H.
On June 30th, 2000, the plaintiff filed a motion to dismiss the case. Though the document is unavailable, it appears as if the parties reached a private settlement agreement. On the same day, the Court (Judge Barefoot Sanders) granted the motion to dismiss the case with prejudice.
