Defendant City of Phoenix respectfully moves the court to conform the judgment against the City of Phoenix pursuant to Title VII, as awarded by the jury, to $300,000.00 consistent with 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1981(b)(3). Pursuant to that section, the damage cap is $300,000.00. Because the jury awarded more than $300,000.00, the jury verdict and thus, the judgment, must be reduced consistent to the cap. DATED this 23rd day of December, 2005. GAONA LAW FIRM /s/ David F.
