J. Arterton grants the employee's motion for attorney fees, ruling it was not reasonable for the employer to remove the case to this court because it was obvious from the outset any damages to the employees for unpaid wages would come nowhere close to the jurisdictional threshold of $75,000. Therefore, the case will be remanded and the employee will be awarded more than $6,000 in attorney fees.

J. Traum denies a grocery store’s motion for summary judgment as to the employee’s negligent retention and sexual harassment claims arising from another employee’s harassing behavior. The employee made several complaints that were not followed up on, and the manager eventually told the other employee about who was making the complaint, violating the policy of anonymity. The employee has presented genuine disputes of material fact as to both her negligent retention and sexual harassment claims, as the harassment occurred frequently enough to be considered pervasive. As she has conceded her retaliation claim, summary judgment is granted the grocery on this claim only.
