United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

March 29, 1994.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jerry Traynham, Patterson & Traynham, Tallahassee, FL, for appellants.

Harry F. Chiles, Asst. Atty. Gen., Atty. Gen.'s Office Dept. of Legal Affairs, Bruce Minnick, Charles T. Collette, Mang, Rett & Collette, P.A., Tallahassee, FL, for appellees.

Rebecca Southwell Conlan, Tallahassee, FL, for Singletary, State of Florida, Dept. of Corrections.

Before DUBINA and CARNES, Circuit Judges, and MORGAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

CARNES, Circuit Judge:

This case presents the question whether the pendency of a Title VII class action tolls the administrative charge-filing period for the class members when class certification is vacated because the representative failed to make a timely filing with the EEOC. We hold that it does toll the period for those wishing to bring individual suits but does not for those wishing to bring class action suits.
