In November 2003, the New York District Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit against the retail cosmetic store chain Sephora USA, LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging discrimination on the basis of national origin, Hispanic, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore the exact allegations involved are unknown. Following some discovery, unsuccessful mediation, and a successful motion for summary judgment by the defendant regarding its policy requiring English to be spoken to customers unless requested otherwise, the parties settled the lawsuit in September 2007 through a consent decree. We do not have a copy of the decree. Therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. However, it appears from the docket that the defendant was required to pay $565,000.
