 On May 3, 2006, Defendants obtained express leave from the formerly-assigned

Senior District Judge to file one motion for summary judgment not to exceed 100 pages.

(docket # 342)

 The Court's perception is that, but it is not making a finding at this time, these are

21 separate claims rather than a single claim of sex discrimination, retaliation and intentional

infliction of emotional distress as one might believe from reading the title of the subject

motion.

ORDER

After considering how best to address and manage the multiple issues raised

in Defendants' ninety-eight1

 (98) page Motion for Summary Judgment on Plaintiffs' Sex

Discrimination Claim2

 (Count I), Retaliation Claim (Count II) and Intentional Infliction of

Emotional Distress Claim (docket # 353), filed on June 30, 2006, regarding twenty-one (21)

individual Plaintiffs against four separate Defendants, the Court has decided to bifurcate the

issues into separate oral arguments and issue separate orders over a period of time.

Accordingly, the Court will next consider whether a genuine dispute of

material fact exists as to Plaintiffs' tort claims of Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.

IT IS ORDERED setting oral argument on Tuesday, November 28, 2006 at

4:00 p.m. If the Court later determines that oral argument would not aid the Court's

decisional process, it will timely notify counsel.

Dated this 2nd day of November, 2006.
