The Home Depot alleges that it fired Davis for repeatedly failing to show up for work. </p><p>The trial initially was concluded in June 2006, but in April 2007, U.S. Department of Labor Judge Pamela Lakes Wood ordered the case reopened after the Home Depot's law firm <a href="/wiki/Akin_Gump_Strauss_Hauer_%26_Feld" title="Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld">Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld</a> revealed that the retail giant's in-house counsel had told them that two Home Depot employees who testified at the trial had lied.

On April 6, 2007, Wood ordered the case to be reopened. </p><p>The Home Depot has settled the dispute in a stipulation of settlement dated March 28, 2008.
