August 8, 2019 Opinion or Order TEXT ORDER entered by Judge Colin Stirling Bruce on 8/8/2019. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss #12 is DENIED. The court finds that, at this stage of the proceedings, taking all the allegations in Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint #4 as true, reading the allegations in the light most favorable to Plaintiffs, and drawing all inferences in their favor, Plaintiffs have stated a claim that is plausible on its face and upon which relief could be granted. See Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570 (2007). The court further finds that Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint describes the claim in sufficient detail to give Defendant fair notice of what the claim is and the grounds upon which it rests. See Lugg v. Sutton, 368 F.Supp.3d 1257, 1260 (C.D. Ill. 2019), citing EEOC v. Concentra Health Services, Inc., 496 F.3d 773, 776 (7th Cir. 2007). The court makes no determination on the merits of Defendants arguments, and all of Defendant's arguments may be reraised at a later stage in the proceedings where the record can be more fully developed "and when the applicable procedural rules permit a more fulsome and searching analysis." See Access 4 All, Inc. v. Chicago Grande, Inc., 2007 WL 1438167, at *1 (N.D. Ill. May 10, 2007). Further, as it concerns Defendant's argument that the ICRA claims are deficient because the ICRA is designed as a disparate impact remedy and does not cover intentional discrimination, the motion is denied on that argument for the reasons stated in this court's recent order #20 of August 6, 2019, in Rosales, et al. v. University of Illinois, et al., 19-CV-2021. The court would also note that Plaintiffs, in their Response #18 at page 1, confirmed that they are not pursuing any disparate treatment claims, and are pursuing only hostile work environment and retaliation claims under Title VII and the ICRA. (DS, ilcd)
