The only document available from PACER is the court docket, meaning there is little known about the allegations and the terms of the outcome. The suit was resolved after little in the way of motions and events, by a consent decree in July of 1998. The terms of the consent decree given in the docket say that the complainant was to be given $16,500, $6,500 for back pay and $10,000 for compensatory damages, for being discriminated against based on his disability.
