EDWARD ALVARADO, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

FEDEX CORPORATION,

Defendant.

No. C 04-0098 SI, No. C 04-0099 SI

Related Case: C 03-2659 SI

ORDER VACATING TRIAL DATE

As the parties are aware, between October 25, 2005 and December 19, 2005, the Court heard oral

argumentonfifteenmotionsforsummary judgment filed by defendants. These motions seek summary judgment

on all claims alleged by all thirteen plaintiffs remaining inthese two cases. Because the motions raised numerous

issues that were common to all remaining plaintiffs, the Court has deferred ruling on these motions until all

motions were fully submitted to the Court. The Court is now in the process of deciding these motions, and will

issue decisions shortly. 

It is likely that the Court’s orders on the summary judgment motions willsubstantially narrow the issues

to be decided at trial. Accordingly, in order to provide the parties sufficient time to prepare fortrial based on

the narrowed scope of the cases, and because procedural questions remain about how to try these joined

cases, the Court hereby VACATES the January 30, 2006 trial date. After the Court issues the summary

judgment orders, the Court will schedule a case management conference with the parties to select a new trial

date.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 4, 2006
