Court to set date for Port Authority of Guam case

THE U.S. District Court will have a scheduling conference for the complaint filed by a Port Authority of Guam employee against 10 Government of Guam officials handling the operation of the port.
Counsels for the defendants and the plaintiff were ordered to meet within 15 days to discuss the case.
Anthony Q. Sanders sued the 10 unnamed officials last month, citing unlawful employment practices and discrimination when the Port Authority of Guam failed to promote him.
A proposed scheduling order and proposed discovery plan shall be lodged on or before April 20.
Counsel for plaintiff must take the lead in the preparation of the scheduling order and all attorneys, including the pro se litigants, are expected to attend a scheduling conference on May 4 at 10:30 a.m.
Sanders complained that during all relevant times, GovGuam management personnel were very much aware of the discrimination against him yet ignored the discrimination complaint and continued to fail to adequately supervise the workplace or to train employees to prevent such discrimination.
As a result of the alleged unfair labor practice, the plaintiff said he suffered substantial losses in earnings, job experience, and other employee benefits that he would have received if the defendants did not breach their agreement in the employment contract.
