I I DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR CLARIFICATION
The Defendants, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby move this I
Court for an order clarifying when the Defendants are to answer the Complaint. The case I
management plan approved by Your Honor on December 24, 2003 did not set a new date I
I
for the Defendants to answer the Complaint. The Defendants originally proposed a
I
November 23, 2003 date to answer the Complaint but Your Honor did not address this
issue in the December 24, 2003 Order. The Defendants respectfully request that Your I
Honor issue an Order postponing the time the Defendants have to answer the Complaint
until Your Honor rules on the pending subject matter jurisdiction issue.
I The Defendants intend to file a dispositive motion on subject matter jurisdiction I
I on or before April 26, 2004 that will, in all likelihood, result in the dismissal ofthe I
I
I NO ORAL ARGUMENT REQUESTED

I Plaintiffs’ Complaint. The Defendants have conducted discovery concerning subject
I matter jurisdiction and believe that they are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act
Q i
I I claims of the Plaintiffs because the Plaintiffs are employed by an air carrier. However,
I I the Defendants intend to file an Answer to the Plaintiffs’ Complaint if Your Honor denies
I the Defendants’ upcoming Motion. I
I I The filing of an Answer by the Defendant will not clarify the subject matter
I I
I I jurisdiction issue in any matter and potentially will lead to additional motion practice I
I concerning any counterclaims and defenses. The parties are currently conducting subject
“ I
· matter jurisdiction discovery and it will be completed by April 26, 2004.
I I I
I I Based on the foregoing, the Defendants respectfully request that Your Honor
I issue an Order postponing the time the Defendants have to answer the Complaint until
Your Honor rules on the pending subject matter jurisdiction issue.

I Respectfully Submitted, I
