In January, the parties had a dispute over whether Bethea could present secret recordings he made during his employment at Mountaire, but the court had not ruled on this request before the settlement was announced.
Mountaire Farms is represented by Elizabeth K. Dorminey and Lori P. Jones, while Bethea is represented by Dawn T. Mistretta, Stanley B. Green, and Kaitlyn B. Copeland of Green Mistretta Law PLLC.
The case is Bethea v. Mountaire Farms Inc., case number 1:23-cv-00673, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.
