In March 2001, the Atlanta District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against BellSouth Telecommunications, Inc. in U.S. District for the Northern District of Georgia. The only document publicly available regarding the case is the docket; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. After some discovery, the parties settled in January 2002 through a consent decree. It appears from the docket that the decree had one year duration and required the defendant to pay $200,000.
