The EEOC was successful on a partial motion for summary judgment. Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment which was denied. EEOC v. Preferred Management Corp., 216 F. Supp. 2d 763 (S.D. Ind. 2002). In July 2002, an eight day trial was held, and the jury returned a partial verdict for the EEOC, awarding a total of $270,000 to six complainants. The court also entered injunctive relief, which included permanently enjoining the defendant from religious discrimination, requiring the defendant to distribute and post notice, and ordering the defendant to maintain a record of religious complaints. The defendant appealed the outcome but ultimately dismissed the appeal voluntarily.
