The EEOC's Nashville and Memphis offices filed this suit on May 28, 2004 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division. The suit alleged that defendant First Tennessee Bank violated Title VII by sexually harassing the female complainant and otherwise discriminating against her based on race. More specificity as to the allegations could not be ascertained because the complaint was not available on PACER. The complainant intervened in the suit. After answering the complaint, the defendant filed a motion for summary judgment. That motion was denied on August 3, 2005. The defendant filed a renewed motion for summary judgment on September 16, 2005. That motion was vacated when the court dismissed the case on October 13, 2005 and never renewed. The EEOC filed a joint 60(b)(6) motion to reverse the order dismissing the case, which was granted. Thereafter, a proposed settlement agreement was entered by the parties on December 16, 2005. The agreement was entered into the record on December 21, 2005. The defendant agreed to pay the complainant $35,000, provide training for its employees and post notice at its facility.
