Blaylock, who said her outfit was approved by management that morning, alleges in her EEOC filing that she was told the restaurant would take care of the ticket and she did not have to go to court. She didn't find out until a year later, after Holder, her lawyer, requested the court records, that her $100 fine had been paid and she had been found liable. An attorney had pleaded her liable without her permission and failed to notify her of her right to appeal, she alleges in her EEOC charge.
