Discrimination suit vs Imperial Pacific dismissed
The federal court dismissed with prejudice on Friday the discrimination lawsuit filed against Imperial Pacific International (CNMI) LLC by its former table games supervisor.
Dismissal with prejudice means Dennis Campbell can no longer re-file his lawsuit against Imperial Pacific.
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona dismissed the lawsuit but retained jurisdiction for the purpose of enforcing the terms of the settlement.
Campbell and Imperial Pacific have requested the court to dismiss the matter as they have reached a settlement.
The terms and conditions of the settlement deal were not disclosed.
Campbell, through Jeanne Rayphand of the Northern Marianas Protection & Advocacy Systems Inc., sued Imperial Pacific for violation of the American with Disabilities Act.
Campbell alleged that he has a physical disability and that the company did not act on his complaint of having difficulty standing and walking for long periods of time.
He asked the court to hold Imperial Pacific liable to pay him back pay plus interest, damages, attorney’s fees, and court costs.
Imperial Pacific has denied the allegation.
