Case Summary

The EEOC's Denver district office sued Rocky Mountain Inns, Inc., a Colorado company owning a chain of hotels, on January 27, 1999 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado. The allegations in the EEOC's complaint are unknown as the only available document for this case is the docket. The presumably aggrieved party intervened in March 1999. The parties settled outside of court and the court entered a settlement decree in August 1999, which contained both injunctive relief and $20,000 in damages to be paid to the intervenor. The court dismissed the case on October 8, 2002 pending compliance with a portion of the consent decree.
