SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 2 – Truist Bank has been
defending itself from charges
of discrimination and
retaliation, and trying to
limit discovery.
Now on June 2, Truist is
settling.
On March
10, U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Magistrate Judge Ona T.
Wang held a discovery
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Sharon Lee's
complaint cites a White
dominated "boys' club."
She says
Truist has failed to provide
documents about comparators, a
key for a discrimination
case.
It seemed the
information would be limited
to Atlanta and New York.
Now on June 2,
the court has been informed by
letter that in Lee v. Trust
Bank, the discrimination case,
"the parties have reached a
settlement in principle that
resolves all of Plaintiff's
claims... The Parties are
available for a conference
should the Court require any
further information." Like,
will the club continue?
The case is Lee
v. Truist Bank et al.,
20-cv-1816 (Koeltl / Wang)
