The suit alleged that defendant Mid-State Petroleum, Inc., doing business as The Pop Shoppe, failed to reasonably accommodate a Muslim woman by refusing to hire her after she requested the ability to wear a hijab at work for religious reasons. In March 2007 the case was settled and a consent decree was entered. The defendant agreed to pay the complainant $40,000, to change its policy regarding dress code accommodation, provide training for its management, and send reports to the EEOC regarding any requests for religious accommodation. The decree was to last for three years. The docket sheet doesn't show any further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2010.
