The first amended complaint adds two named plaintiffs and proposed class

representatives, Marie Broman and Al Fournier. The first amended complaint also

clarifies the status of plaintiff Mae Louise Whitaker, who appears on her own behalf and

as the successor in interesto deceased plaintiff Ruby Duncan. There are no new

causes of action.

There is good cause to grant this application. First, the parties agree to the

amendment. Second, the proposed amendment will not delay this action, since a trial

date and pretrial deadlines have not yet been set. Third, Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(a) provides

that leave to amend shall be "freely given when justice so requires."

The parties have agreed that defendants shall have until December 7, 2007 to

file a responsive pleading.

So stipulated.
