December 20, 2011 Opinion or Order Filing 100 WRITTEN Opinion entered by the Honorable James F.

Consistent with this court's previous orders [59, 89], Counts I, II, IV, VI, and VII of the Second Amended Complaint are stricken in their entirety, and Counts III an d V are stricken to the extent they allege violations of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Counts III and V remain pending against defendants Dunlap and Welch, to the extent these claims allege violations of Title VII. Counts VIII, IX, and X also remain pendi ng. The court rejects Dunlap and Welch's claim to absolute immunity from this lawsuit. In light of the pending appeals in Coleman v. Cook County (N.D. Ill. Case No. 10 C 2388; 7th Cir. Case No. 11-2669) (immunity issue) and Doe v. Cook County (N.D. Ill. Case No. 99-3945; 7th Cir. Case No. 10-2746) (addressing, in part, the court's jurisdiction to appoint Dunlap in 2007), this litigation is stayed pending further action by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. This case is set for a report on status on 4/26/2012 at 9:00 a.m. The parties are encouraged to discuss settlement. Signed by the Honorable James F. Holderman on 12/20/2011: Mailed notice (am)
