STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

C 03-2659 SI and C 03 3278 SI

WHEREAS, on November 28, 2005, the Court issued its Order re: Class Notice;

WHEREAS, that Order provides that “By November 30 or the earliest practicable 

date thereafter, FedEx will provide Class Counsel with a computer-readable” Class List, 

including class member names, addresses, employee ID numbers, and Social Security Numbers;

WHEREAS, FedEx has stated that the “earliest practicable” date upon which it can 

produce the Class List is December 30, 2005;

WHEREAS, the Order provides that Class Counsel or a claims administrator 

retained by Class Counsel must mail the notice to the Class List within seven days of receipt of 

the Class List; 

WHEREAS, due to the intervening holidays and press of business at the New 

Year, it would be extremely difficult for the claims administrator retained by Class Counsel to 

mail the Class Notice within seven days of December 30, 2005;

THEREFORE, the parties propose and stipulate to the following, and request that 

the Court so order:

1) FedEx will provide the Class List, consisting of a computer-readable list of 

the full names, employee ID number(s), most current known addresses, and Social Security 

numbers of all members of the Minority Employee Class and the African American Lower Level 

Manager Class, directly to the claims administrator retained by Class Counsel, with a copy to 

Class Counsel, no later than December 30, 2005.

2) Class Counsel may use the Social Security numbers included in the Class 

List to (1) match class member names with the personnel and payroll data provided by FedEx; 

and (2) find the current addresses of class members for whom the Class List contains an outdated 

or incorrect address. In the course of so doing, Class Counsel may provide the Social Security 

numbers to a claims administrator or a statistician. Other than these uses, Class Counsel and the 

claims administrator and statistician shall agree to treat the social security numbers as confidential 

information, and not share them with third parties.
