Case No.: 10-CV-00152-LHK
ORDER RE: PROPOSED CONSENT
DECREE
(re: dkt. #57)

On May 9, 2011, the parties submitted for the Court’s approval a proposed Consent Decree.

17

See Dkt. #57. The terms of the Consent Decree include monetary and injunctive relief, mandatory

18

training, reports to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and a two-year term of

19

duration. In addition, the parties request that the Court retain jurisdiction to enforce compliance

20

with the Consent Decree over the two-year duration. The parties represent that the case will be

21

dismissed with prejudice after that two-year term, provided that there is compliance with the terms

22

of the Consent Decree.

23

The Court is amenable to the terms of the Consent Decree, with one exception. The Court’s

24

preference is for the parties to file a stipulation of dismissal without prejudice subject to the Court’s

25

retention of jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of the Consent Decree for a period of two years.

26

At the end of the two-year period, provided there is compliance with the terms of the Consent

27

Decree, the parties may then seek dismissal with prejudice.
