111241P.pdf   01/31/2012  EEOC  v.  Product Fabricators, Inc.
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  11-1241
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Wollman and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
   Civil Case - Americans with Disabilities Act. The district court's 
   rejection of a proposed consent decree entered between EEOC and Product 
   Fabricators, Inc. to ensure compliance with Americans with Disabilities 
   Act, including a provision for continuing jurisdiction, is reversed. 
   The district court failed to give consideration to the strong preference 
   for settlement agreements and the usual component of continuing jurisdiction,
   and improperly gave significant weight to Product Fabricators' contention 
   that the acts of discrimination were insufficiently widespread. The district 
   court did not explain why continuing jurisdiction was no fair, reasonable and
   adequate.
