Case Summary

In May 2001, the Detroit District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Kristi Oil Co. in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. The only document publicly available regarding this case is the docket; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. After some scheduling orders and discovery disputes, the EEOC filed a motion for partial summary judgment in August 2002. Soon thereafter, the defendant also filed a motion for partial summary judgment. However, the motions were never resolved because the parties participated in a settlement conference in late November 2002, settling the case. They entered into a consent decree in February 2003.
