J. Jordan partly grants the defendant company's post-trial motions in a suit brought by former employees alleging race discrimination and retaliation stemming from alleged disparate treatment that Black employees faced. The jury ruled in favor of all the former employees and awarded each of them $7 million in total damages. The company's motion for judgment as a matter of law is granted as to all of the former employees' race discrimination claims since the evidence was insufficient to support the jury's verdict. The verdict as to the company's liability and the employees' damages "is so contrary to the evidence as to evince bias and prejudice on the part of the jury... The damages awarded are patently nonsensical."

J. Torres denies a former Customs and Border Patrol employee’s motion for appointment of counsel after she sued the agency on her own behalf for discrimination. Not only is the employee unlikely to succeed in her case, but she has demonstrated “sufficient financial resources to continue her search for counsel,” including because she has savings and paid an initial filing fee.

J. Treadwell denies the employee's motion for reconsideration of an earlier order partially granting the employer's motions to dismiss a civil rights and race discrimination action arising from the employer's alleged failure to reclassify the employee, an appraiser, to a higher position. The employee failed to follow the court's instructions in amending her complaint, therefore her allegations with regard to liability for pay discrimination based on events that happened years before she filed her charge of discrimination with the EEOC were properly struck from the second amended complaint.
