STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS WILLIAMS’ CLAIMS OF RACE 

DISCRIMINATION UNDER TITLE VII AND TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO FILE A RESPONSE

STIPULATION

WHEREAS, Defendant Morgan Stanley DW, Inc. has moved the Court to dismiss the 

claims of race discrimination brought by Plaintiff Denise Williams under Title VII of the Civil 

Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000(e) et seq.;

WHEREAS, Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss was based on the fact that Ms. Williams has 

not received a Notice of Right to Sue regarding her race discrimination claims under Title VII 

from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission;

WHEREAS, Ms. Williams acknowledges that she has not received a Notice of Right to 

Sue with respect to her claims of race discrimination under Title VII but anticipates that the 

EEOC will issue a Notice; 

WHEREAS, Ms. Williams hereby dismisses her claims of race discrimination under Title 

VII, 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000(e) et seq., without prejudice, with the expectation that she will replead 

such claims when a right to sue is issued;

WHEREAS, Defendant agrees that Plaintiffs may amend the Amended Complaint to 

allege Ms. Williams’ race discrimination claims under Title VII if and when the EEOC has issued 

a Notice of Right to Sue with respect to those claims;

WHEREAS, Defendant has also filed a Motion to Stay the claims brought on behalf of the 

class and subclasses in this matter alleging gender discrimination in violation of Title VII, the 

California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Cal. Gov’t Code § 12940 and Michigan’s ElliotLarsen Civil Rights Act, M.C.L.A. § 37.2101, and Plaintiffs intend to oppose such Motion;

WHEREAS, the Court has scheduled a hearing on Defendant’s Motion to Stay for 

December 11, 2006; and 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs agree that the time for Defendant to respond to the Amended 

Complaint may be enlarged so that Defendant may file its response twenty (20) days from the 

date the Court decides Defendant’s Motion to Stay. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS FOLLOWS: 

1. Ms. Williams’ claims of race discrimination under Title VII are dismissed without 

prejudice, and with the agreement that she may bring these claims again at a later date without 

opposition from Defendant if and when the EEOC has issued a Notice of Right to Sue with 

respect to those claims; and

2. Defendant shall have until twenty (20) days from the date the Court decides 

Defendant’s pending Motion to Stay to respond to the Amended Complaint.
