Former Head of NGCB's Department Challenges Board's Directive to Scratch Racial Discrimination Lawsuit
Jaime Black, a former employee of the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB), has accused board member Brittnie Watkins of pressuring her to practice discriminatory hiring practices and fostering a hostile work environment. This allegation, made in a lawsuit filed in September, violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, according to Black's attorney.
The case, currently being presided over by Judge Miranda Du in Las Vegas's US District Court, has seen a series of motions filed by both parties. In October, the NGCB submitted a motion to dismiss Black's racial discrimination lawsuit. In response, Black's attorney filed a motion to counter the NGCB's motion to dismiss the case.
The motion, accompanied by a 24-page response, argues that there is sufficient evidence to back Black's claims of racial discrimination against Watkins. Black's attorney asserts that the allegations against Watkins have a "sufficient factual and legal basis for each cause of action."
However, the Nevada Attorney General's office, representing the Board, has previously and recently dubbed Black's claims as baseless. No further comments have been made by NGCB representatives regarding the suit or the case.
As of now, there are no specific search results available regarding this case in current documents or news releases. To obtain updated or detailed information about this lawsuit, it may be necessary to check local court records directly from the jurisdiction where the case is filed or official statements from the parties involved. Monitoring news sources or legal reporting specific to the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) or relevant courts may provide the most current and authoritative updates.
Black alleges that she was subjected to a hostile work environment when she resisted the pressures from Watkins. The outcome of this case could have significant implications for the NGCB and the gaming industry in Nevada.
The ongoing case against Brittnie Watkins, a Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) member, involves allegations of racial discrimination and a hostile work environment. This case, currently under Judge Miranda Du in the US District Court of Las Vegas, has attracted attention in the general-news sector as it pertains to politics and crime-and-justice. The motion filed by Black's attorney presents sufficient evidence to support the claims of discrimination against Watkins, potentially causing significant changes within the NGCB and the Nevada gaming industry.
