Description
Plaintiff filed a Title VII action in July 1982 alleging racially discriminatory employment practices. Late in 1983, the trial judge notified the parties in this case that there would be a hearing on defendant Detroit Edisons motion for summary judgment, which was supported by a number of affidavits and a full brief. Defendants counsel appeared for the motion as scheduled; plaintiffs counsel did not, thereby setting an unfortunate and disturbing precedent in this case. After the time set for the hearing, counsel for plaintiff, Ethan Vinson, telephone the court and explained that he had forgotten the hearing and waived oral argument. The court assessed an attorney fee against Mr. Vinson for this failure, but did not then grant defendants motion for judgment.
