New Trial Set for August 2026

The Sanford Firm continues to represent employees in Yarbrough et al. v. Glow Networks, Inc., a federal civil rights case involving claims of race discrimination and retaliation under 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (“The Civil Rights Act of 1866”).

Case History

In 2022, a jury awarded our clients $70 million after finding that Glow Networks discriminated against its Black employees and retaliated against employees who opposed discrimination.

Following post-trial motions, the district court overturned the verdict through judgment as a matter of law and new trial orders. No money has been paid to the plaintiffs.

Fifth Circuit Remand

In September 2025, the Fifth Circuit vacated summary judgment on several claims and remanded them for reconsideration under the court’s decision in Hamilton v. Dallas County, which expanded the definition of actionable adverse employment actions.

The remanded claims are set for trial on August 31, 2026.

Trial attorneys Brian Sanford and BB Sanford represent the plaintiffs in this matter.
