Pursuant to the Court’s Minutes of Proceedings (ECF No. 17), the Petitioner United

27

Respondent Golden Entertainment (“Respondent) hereby submits a Joint Status Report to the

28

Court.

Case 2:17-cv-01631-APG-PAL Document 19 Filed 11/24/17 Page 2 of 3

1

On October 24, 2017, this Court granted the EEOC’s Application to Show Cause as

2

narrowed in the moving and responsive papers and oral argument, and ordered Respondent to

3

produce lists of its Montana and Maryland employees that were terminated during their

4

introductory periods by November 14, 2017. (ECF No. 8). The Court also ordered the parties to

5

either file a Proposed Stipulation and Order to Dismiss by November 24, 2017, or provide a Joint

6

Status Report indicating when it may be filed. (ECF No. 8).

7

On November 14, 2017, Respondent produced a list of its Maryland employees that were

8

terminated during their introductory period. On November 16, 2017, Respondent represented to

9

the EEOC that there were no employees terminated during their introductory period from its

10

Montana property. To confirm compliance with the Court’s order, the Commission requested a

11

declaration from Respondent’s custodian of records verifying that there are no responsive

12

records pertaining to Respondent’s Montana property and to explain the search parameters

13

supporting the representation that no responsive documents exist. Respondent contacted the

14

EEOC for clarification as to why it needed a declaration containing the search parameters but,

15

nevertheless, agreed to have its custodian of records complete and sign a Custodian of Records

16

declaration confirming its efforts to locate and produce responsive information for its Montana

17

property as ordered by this Court on October 24, 2017. However, Respondent’s custodian of

18

records has limited availability due to the upcoming holidays and needs an additional thirty (30)

19

days to fulfill the Commission’s request.
