STEPHANIE BIEDIGER, et al., individually and on behalf of all those similarly situated; and ROBIN LAMOTT SPARKS, individually, Plaintiffs, v. QUINNIPIAC UNIVERSITY, Defendant.

No. 3:09cv621 (SRU)

CONFERENCE MEMORANDUM On May 25, 2010, I held a telephone conference on the record with Jonathan Orleans and Alex Hernandez, representing the plaintiffs, and Edward Brill and Susan Friedfel, representing the defendant. The purpose of the conference was to discuss scheduling and giving notice to the plaintiffs' certified class. I set the following schedule: June 7, 2010, 3:30/4:00 p.m. June 10, 2010, 5:00 p.m. June 11, 2010, noon Telephone conference Pretrial memo Pretrial conference

The parties agreed that class notice will not be required at the liability stage, although it may become necessary should the plaintiffs prevail and a remedy must be awarded. Therefore, the issue of class notice will not be taken up until after the bench trial has concluded. The parties informed me that they do not plan on filing any Daubert motions, but will raise any objections to expert witnesses at trial. I also informed the parties that videotaped depositions and video conferencing would be acceptable for witnesses who are unavailable to

testify in person. Dated at Bridgeport, Connecticut, this 27th day of May 2010.

/s/ Stefan R. Underhill United States District Judge
