Outcome

The EEOC's discrimination claim against Shoney's was dismissed on summary judgment as groundless and frivolous. The court awarded the defendant $18,702.89 in attorneys' fees, finding the EEOC's claim lacked merit from inception and the agency continued litigation despite clear evidence of groundlessness.
