Judge Martin

VAZQUEZ v. SALOMON SMITH BARNEY INC. — Marti Vazquez (“Plaintiff”) brought this action against Salomon Smith Barney (“Smith Barney”) alleging that Smith Barney breached a negotiated settlement agreement the parties had executed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) after Plaintiff had brought charges of race and sex discrimination against Smith Barney. In January 2002, the Court denied in part Smith Barney’s motion to dismiss finding that the Plaintiff had sufficiently alleged a claim for breach of contract and that the breach of contract was based on Plaintiff’s race in violation of 42 U.S.C. §1981. Smith Barney now moves for summary judgment on the §1981 claim and for partial summary judgment on the contract claim to limit Plaintiff’s recovery to nominal damages.
