In the Matter of
Terri Elliott,
Complainant
v.
AmerenUE and
Wackenhut Corporation,
Respondents
RECOMMENDED DECISION AND ORDER APPROVING
STIPULATION OF DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE
This is a proceeding under the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, 42
U.S.C. §§ 5851 and the procedural regulations for the handling of discrimination
complaints found at 29 C.F.R. Part 24, whereby employees or employers subject to the Act and
regulations may file complaints and receive certain redress upon a showing of being subjected to
discriminatory action resulting from protected activity.
On March 13, 2000, I issued an Order setting this matter for a hearing on
May 31 and June 1, 2000, in Jefferson City, Missouri. Shortly before the scheduled hearing, I
was advised by the parties that they had reached an agreement for settlement. On July 7, 2000, I
received a Confidential Release and Settlement Agreement, signed by the Complainant and her
counsel, as well as corporate officers for the Respondent Wackenhut and counsel for the
Respondent AmerenUE. The Settlement Agreement sets out the substance of the agreement
between the parties, and reflects that as part of the agreement, the Claimant would seek approval
for the dismissal of her complaint with prejudice. On July 13, 2000, I received from Claimant's
counsel a Motion to Dismiss Based Upon Voluntary Settlement, requesting that upon approval of
the Settlement Agreement submitted by the parties, the Court enter an Order to Dismiss the
Claimant's claim.
