On September 29, 2005, the San Francisco District Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The EEOC sued Paragary's Management Group, Paramoor, Inc., and PDK Partnership under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, representing claimants who alleged the defendants had subjected them to a hostile work environment and disparate treatment. The EEOC sought a permanent injunction enjoining the decedent from future harassment or discrimination, and also sought backpay and monetary compensation.
Specifically, the claimants alleged sexual harassment in the form of verbal and physical acts. They further alleged that the defendant had discriminated against them as Mexican females by providing different terms and conditions of employment, requiring them to do the work of non-Mexican female employees, and denying them breaks and requested leave.
On April 29, 2009, U.S. District Judge Morrison C. England approved and ordered a consent decree to be in effect for three years. The consent decree required the defendant to issue an anti-harassment policy, impose a complaint procedure, use outside consultant to train all employees, and prepare reference letters for the claimants. The decree also required that the defendant pay $60,000 in damages to the claimants. There's nothing more in the docket, so presumably the matter ended in 2012.
