The EEOC initiated this lawsuit under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, based on Decedent's allegations of unlawful employment practices on the basis of disability. HES denies and continues to deny the allegations of discrimination in EEOC Charge No. 360-991341 and the Lawsuit. The parties agree that there is no "prevailing party" in this action or proceeding.
