Martinez v. Optum Services Inc Doc. 28 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS DALLAS DIVISION JOYCE MARTINEZ, Plaintiff, v. OPTUM SERVICES, INC. Defendant. § § § § § § § § § § § Civil Action No. 3:20-CV-01138-X MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER This case arises from alleged sex and age discrimination in violation of Title VII, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Texas Labor Code. The Defendant, Optum Services, Inc. (Optum), designated expert witnesses regarding attorneys’ fees. [Doc. No. 18]. The plaintiff, Joyce Martinez, moved to strike that designation. [Doc. No. 19]. Because federal courts handle attorneys’ fees in a motion the prevailing party files fourteen (14) days after the final judgment, the jury does not hear the fee issue. 1 The Court therefore finds that Martinez’s motion to strike is meritless and DENIES the motion. IT IS SO ORDERED this 18th day of May 2021 BRANTLEY STARR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 1 See FED. R. CIV. P. 54(d)(2). 1 Dockets.Justia.com
