ORDER granting [31-1] motion for partial summary judgment. Afer reviewing the evidence presented to the Court, the Court is satisfied that all conditions precedent to filing a suit under Title VII have been satisfied.

Additionally after reviewing the evidence before the Court, Pltfs and Intervenors met all the applicable time limitations contained within 42 USC Section 2000e. Pltf's and Intervenor's Motion for Partial S/J is granted. The evidence before the Court establishes that conciliation efforts in this case failed on 4/18/02 and suit was filed on 6/27/01. The court finds that no unreasonable delay resulted. Pltfs' and Intervenors' Motion for Partial S/J on this issue is granted. In this suit, Pltfs' and Intervenors' claims are not based on the Dft's alleged negligence. Accordingly, recovery is not foreclosed by the Texas Workers Compensation Act.
