     Defendants.

_________________________________

1. This is a lawsuit by the United States under Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, §§ 2000a, et seq. ("Title II"), which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, and religion in places of public accommodation. The lawsuit alleges that the owners, operators, managers, and employees of two nightclubs, Joe's and Acapulco Joe's, violated Title II by denying African American and Latino persons admittance to these nightclubs because of their race, color and/or national origin.

2. Joe's is a nightclub located at 115 N. Rock Island, Wichita, KS 67202. Joe's opened for business on or about October 2000 at 115 N. Rock Island, Wichita, Kansas 67202. Joe's is a successor to Acupulco Joe's, a nightclub which previously operated at the same location, from approximately 1998 to October, 2000, and at a location on East Kellog Street, also in Wichita, Kansas, from approximately 1994 to 1998. Joe's is, and Acapulco Joe's was, a place of exhibition and entertainment and, thus, a place of public accommodation pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 2000a(b).

3. The Defendants in this action are Charles Badeen; JOOT, Inc.; Better Times, Inc.; Candi Morris; Anthony Morris; Richard Davis; and Randall Gale, the individuals and entities who had an ownership or managerial interest in Joe's and/or Acapulco Joe's at times relevant to this action. JOOT, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Kansas, is the entity that currently owns and operates Joe's. Candi Morris, a resident of the State of Kansas, is a shareholder and president of JOOT, Inc. Anthony Morris, a resident of the State of Kansas, is a shareholder and officer of JOOT, Inc. Better Times, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Kansas, was the former owner and operator of Acapulco Joe's. Charles Badeen and Randall Gale, both residents of the State of Kansas, were the sole shareholders and officers of Better Times, Inc. Richard Davis, a resident of the State of Kansas, is the current manager of Joe's and was formerly a manager of Acapulco Joe's. Charles Badeen managed Acapulco Joe's and sometimes manages or staffs Joe's.

4. This lawsuit was filed following an investigation by the United States into allegations of discrimination against African American and Latino persons at Joe's and Acapulco Joe's. The investigation revealed that the Defendants discriminated against African-American and Latino patrons and prospective patrons of Joe's and Acapulco Joe's in violation of Title II through the following actions: instructing employees to exclude African American and Latino patrons by claiming that their dress did not comply with the Club's dress code but allowing white patrons wearing similar clothes to enter; refusing to accept some forms of valid proof of age from African American and Latino patrons but accepting those same forms of identification from white patrons and/or falsely telling African American and Latino patrons that their identification was not valid; refusing admittance to groups of African American and Latino patrons; instructing nightclub employees to deny admittance to African American and Latino patrons; and prohibiting nightclub employees and contractors from playing rap and Spanish-language music in order to discourage the interest of African American and Latino patrons in attending the establishment. In addition, the investigation revealed that some or all of the Defendants regularly used racial and ethnic epithets and derogatory language when talking to and/or about African-American and Latino individuals.

5. The Kansas Human Rights Commission also investigated Joe's after receiving information and complaints suggesting that Joe's was discriminating against potential patrons on the basis of race and color.

6. The Defendants admit that African-American and Latino individuals have been wrongfully excluded from Joe's and Acapulco Joe's and acknowledge that the United States' evidence would, if this matter were brought to trial, establish that they engaged in a pattern or practice of discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in violation of Title II.

1. The term "Order" shall mean and refer to this Consent Order and Final Judgment.

2. The term "Parties" shall mean and refer collectively to Plaintiff United States and Defendants Charles Badeen; Richard Davis; Candi Morris; Anthony Morris; Randall Gale; JOOT, Inc.; and Better Times, Inc.

12. Within thirty (30) days after the date of entry of this Order, Defendants shall redraft, and submit to the United States for approval, the following:

    3. Whatever training, instructional, and informational materials are provided to Joe's employees, which shall be redrafted to include an explanation of the nondiscrimination requirements of Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act; and State or local laws, regulations, and ordinances that govern nondiscrimination in establishments open to the public; the requirements of this Order; employees' obligation to comply with Title II, other nondiscrimination laws, regulations, and ordinances, and this Order; and the disciplinary action that will be taken against employees for failure to comply with Title II, other nondiscrimination laws, and this Order.

Before any of the Parties brings such matter to the Court, the moving party shall file with the Court a certification that the Parties involved in the dispute have conferred in an attempt to resolve the dispute.
