On November 17, 2008, the Court issued an Order requiring the parties to submit a Joint Case Management Conference Statement regarding settlement status no later than December 12, 2008 and scheduling another case management conference for December 19, 2008. See Dkt. No. 172. Plaintiffs Cornelius Clark, Chester Lewis, John Ponds, and Garrant Cosey ("plaintiffs") and Defendant Anna's Linens, Inc. ("Anna's Linens"), by and through their counsel of record, jointly submit this Joint Case Management Conference Statement. The settlement agreement between Anna's Linens and the EEOC to resolve the claims of charging parties represented by plaintiffs' counsel that are not parties to this litigation has been fully executed. Plaintiffs' counsel is in the process of securing signatures on the private parties' settlement agreement in this action. Monetary payments provided for under the settlement agreement are to be made within 30 days after Anna's Linens receives the agreement executed by plaintiffs and their counsel. Thereafter, plaintiffs have seven business days to move to dismiss their individual claims with prejudice and class claims without prejudice. Plaintiffs thus estimate that they should be in position to file a motion to dismiss in this action prior to the end of January 2009. Plaintiffs request that the Court reschedule the status conference currently set for December 19, 2008 to January 30, 2009 in the unlikely event that the parties require the Court's assistance.
