In December 1996, the New York office of the EEOC brought this Title VII suit against Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc. and Kalabi Realty Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleged that the defendant discriminated against the claimants by subjecting them to harassment, denying them equal terms and conditions of employment and discharging them in retaliation of their complaints of race and national origin discrimination (black and Hispanic). After the court denied the defendant's 12(b)(1) motion to dismiss, the case settled by entry of a consent decree in January 1998. The consent decree required the defendant to pay $40,000 to the claimants. No other information was made available pertaining to the consent decree.
