Case Summary

The Memphis and Nashville offices of the EEOC brought this action in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, against Alexander Automotive, LLC. The complaint was filed in June 2004, but we do not have access to the document, therefore it is not possible to discern the basis for relief. The parties reached a settlement and submitted a consent decree in which Defendant paid a total of $36,000.00 in compensatory damages, with $34,000.00 awarded to charging party and $2,000.00 awarded to an affected party. The decree was entered and the case was terminated in June 2005. The only document we have for this case is the docket.
