- finding that the defendants’ commitment to its new policy is “questionable, having instituted it just several months after the filing of this lawsuit”
- finding that defendant’s institution of a new policy did not moot plaintiff's request for injunctive relief because defendant’s “commitment to the new... policy is questionable, having instituted it just several months after the filing of this lawsuit’
- declining to find that plaintiff's claims were moot where only assurance Court had that defendants would carry out particular action was defendants' voluntary enactment of policy or procedure
- a recent change in defendant’s policy, implemented after initiation of the lawsuit, was insufficient to moot plaintiffs’ request for injunctive relief
- “Plaintiffs were entitled to pre-certification discovery to establish the record the court needs to determine whether the requirements for a class action suit have been met”
- “The critical element of a § 1981 claim is the showing of intentional discrimination, not merely that the defendant adopted a policy or practice that had a disparate impact upon minorities.”
