The Court hereby orders that Plaintiffs’ Motion to Extend Tolling of the Statute of

Limitations is GRANTED in part. Specifically, the Court will extend the tolling period

awarded to former class members under American Pipe and Construction Co. v. Utah, 414

U.S. 538, 554 (1974) for a limited time, and below the Court sets forth the dates by which

former class members must take action. The Court is granting this limited period of

additional tolling in the interest of justice and to avoid any confusion that might exist among

former class members regarding when the time limit for them to take action expires. 

All former class members who have an EEOC notice to sue shall have until October

28, 2011 to file suit. All former class members who have never filed an EEOC charge shall

have until January 27, 2012 to file charges with the EEOC in those states with 180 day limits
