NATURE OF THE ACTION This is an action under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act to correct unlawful employment practices on the basis of age and to provide appropriate relief to Murray Ross. The Commission alleges that on or around March 26, 2004, Mr. Ross, age 82, was informed that he was terminated from his position of furniture salesperson for Defendant SNS Administrative Services LLC, t/a Sticks ‘N’ Stuff, a position which he had been performing for the previous three years. His district manager told him that at his age, he should be retired and that the store was hiring younger people. The Commission alleges that Mr. Ross’s termination was based on his age.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE 1. Jurisdiction of this Court is invoked pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 451, 1331, 1337, 1343 and 1345. This action is authorized and instituted pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, 29 U.S.C. § 626(b) (the "ADEA"), which incorporates by reference Sections 16(c) and 17 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (the "FLSA"), as amended, 29 U.S.C. §§ 216(c) and 217. 2. The employment practices alleged to be unlawful were committed within the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of Maryland.
PARTIES 3. Plaintiff, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (the "Commission"), is the agency of the United States of America charged with the administration, interpretation, and enforcement of the ADEA and is expressly authorized to bring this action by Section 7(b) of the ADEA, 29 U.S.C. § 626(b), as amended by Section 2 of Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1978, 92 Stat. 3781, and by Public Law 98-532 (1984), 98 Stat. 2705. 4.

5. At all relevant times, Defendant has continuously been an employer engaged in an industry affecting commerce within the meaning of Sections 11(b), (g) and (h) of the ADEA, 29 U.S.C. §§ 630(b), (g) and (h).

The practices include terminating Murray Ross, age 82, because Defendant believed that at his age he should be retired and that the store needed to hire younger employees. 8.

Memo To Counsel Re: EEOC v. SNS Administrative Services Civil No. JFM-04-3113
Dear Counsel:
I have reviewed the memoranda submitted in connection with defendant’s motion to dismiss or for summary judgment.
The motion is denied. I am satisfied that the EEOC complied with the obligation imposed upon it by 29 U.S.C. §626(b) to attempt to resolve the matters in dispute through “conciliation, conference, and persuasion” before filing this suit. The position taken by SNS as set forth in its counsel’s letter dated September 13, 2004 indicated that SNS and the EEOC evaluated the circumstances leading to Mr. Ross’ discharge quite differently from one another. The EEOC could properly conclude that further negotiations about the relief to be afforded to Mr. Ross (who was then 82 years of age) would be unproductive and would result in unnecessary delay and a waste of resources.
A conference call will be held on January 20, 2005 at 9:00 a.m. to discuss the appropriate schedule in this case. I ask counsel for plaintiff to initiate the call.
Enclosed is a form scheduling order with approximate dates for your information. Please consult with one another before the call and be prepared to discuss whether you would like to participate in a settlement conference either before or after the completion of discovery, any changes to the dates in the form scheduling order, and whether there is unanimous consent to proceed before a U.S. Magistrate Judge for all proceedings.
Despite the informal nature of this ruling, it shall constitute an Order of Court, and the Clerk is directed to docket it accordingly.
Very truly yours,
/s/
J. Frederick Motz United States District Judge
