ORDER
On November 13, 2015, the magistrate judge’s report and recommendation,
doc. 73, was entered and the parties were allowed therein fourteen (14) days in
which to file objections to the recommendations made by the magistrate judge. No
objections were filed.
After careful consideration of the record in this case and the magistrate
judge’s report and recommendation, the court hereby ADOPTS the report of the
magistrate judge. The court further ACCEPTS the recommendations of the
magistrate judge that the EEOC’s first motion for summary judgement, doc. 24, be
DENIED as MOOT, the EEOC’s amended first summary judgment, doc. 26, be
DENIED because genuine issues of material fact remain, and that the EEOC’s
second motion for partial summary judgment, doc. 35, be DENIED because
1

United has not stated any affirmative defenses and the arguments raised are more
appropriate for trial.
This case is set for a telephonic status conference on Thursday, January 28,
2016, at 1:30 p.m. [CST]. The parties are directed to initiate the call between
themselves, and then to connect to the court by dialing 205-278-1852 five minutes

must notify the court by emailing [e-mail] by 4:30
