MEMORANDUM OPINION
This case is before me for all purposes including trial. Currently pending before me is the District of Columbia Defendant's Motion to Dismiss or in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment ("Defs.Mot."). For the reasons stated below, the motion will be granted in part and denied in part.

INTRODUCTION
Plaintiffs are eleven current or former District of Columbia employees and the estates of two former District of Columbia employees who have made claims for disability compensation pursuant to the District of Columbia Comprehensive Merit Personnel System Act ("CMPA").[1] Defendants are 1) the District of Columbia, 2) Mayor Adrian Fenty,[2] and 3) James Jacobs, Director of the Office of Risk Management.[3] Both Fenty and Jacobs are sued in their official capacities.

DISCUSSION

I. Defendants' Motion to Dismiss

Defendants move to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Under Rule 12(b)(6), complaints are liberally construed and all factual allegations in the complaint as well as any inferences that may be drawn from them are accepted as true. Lightfoot v. District of Columbia, No. 01-CV-1484, 2007 WL 148777, at *5 (D.D.C. Jan. 16, 2007).

A. Plaintiffs' § 1983 Claim

In order to ascertain whether plaintiffs have stated a claim for municipal liability pursuant to § 1983, the Court must first determine "whether the complaint states a claim for a predicate constitutional violation." Baker v. District of Columbia, 326 F.3d 1302, 1306 (D.C.Cir. 2003) (citations omitted). The Court must next determine "whether the complaint states a claim that a custom or policy of the municipality caused the violation." Id.Accord Brown v. District of Columbia, No. 05-CV-5320, 514 F.3d 1279, 1283 (D.C.Cir.2008); Bowman v. District of Columbia, 477 F.Supp.2d 217, 220 (D.D.C. 2007). "[A] local government may not be sued under § 1983 for an injury inflicted solely by its employees or agents. Instead, it is when execution of a government's policy or custom, whether made by its lawmakers or by those whose edicts or acts may fairly be said to represent official policy, inflicts the injury that the government as an entity is responsible under § 1983." Monell v. Dep't of Soc. Servs. of City of New York, 436 U.S. 658, 694, 98 S.Ct. 2018, 56 L.Ed.2d 611 (1978). Liability pursuant to § 1983, therefore, is not *108 based on a theory of respondeat superior. Id. at 691, 98 S.Ct. 2018.
In Count 1 of the Amended Complaint, plaintiffs state the following: "Defendants did intentionally, knowingly, willfully and with complete disregard of Plaintiffs' rights deny Plaintiffs due process of the law by arbitrarily and capriciously administering the [CMPA[4]]." Amended Complaint ¶ 86. Thus, plaintiffs claim that defendants violated their Fifth Amendment[5] due process rights in the administration of the CMPA.
"Procedural due process imposes constraints on governmental decisions which deprive individuals of `liberty' or `property' interests within the meaning of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth or Fourteenth Amendment." Mathews v. Eldridge, 424 U.S. 319, 323, 96 S.Ct. 893, 47 L.Ed.2d 18 (1976). In order to have a property interest in a benefit such as disability compensation, plaintiffs must have a "legitimate claim of entitlement to it." Bd. of Regents of State Colls. v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564, 577, 92 S.Ct. 2701, 33 L.Ed.2d 548 (1972). It is undisputed in this Circuit that the CMPA creates such an interest; plaintiffs' Amended Complaint therefore sufficiently states a claim for a predicate constitutional violation under the Fifth Amendment. See Fonville v. District of Columbia, 448 F.Supp.2d 21, 26 (D.D.C. 2006). Accord McManus v. District of Columbia, No. 07-CV-252, 530 F.Supp.2d 46, 71-72 (D.D.C.2007).
Plaintiffs also state the following in their Amended Complaint: "At all times relevant hereto, Defendants have acted under the color of state law and have maintained through habit, custom, prior practices, rules, and/or regulations, a policy or practice of denying Plaintiffs due process of the law by the arbitrary and capricious administration of the [CMPA]." Amended Complaint ¶ 85. Plaintiffs later describe the policy at issue as "Defendants' unconstitutional practice of arbitrary and capricious and unreasonable and unlawful delays in [CMPA] administration." Amended Complaint ¶ 11. Plaintiffs' Amended Complaint therefore also sufficiently states a claim that a custom or policy of the municipality caused the violation. As a result, plaintiffs' § 1983 claim survives defendants' motion to dismiss. See Erickson v. Pardus, ___ U.S. ___, ___, 127 S.Ct. 2197, 2200, 167 L.Ed.2d 1081 (2007).
The Court notes, however, that although plaintiffs originally claimed that either the CMPA was facially unconstitutional or that it was unconstitutional as applied, only plaintiffs'"as applied" claim survives the court of appeals' holding in Lightfoot v. District of Columbia, 448 F.3d 392 (D.C.Cir.2006). In Lightfoot, the court held that no due process claim could be brought upon the theory that an agency must proceed through rulemaking when purporting to establish standards "that may be may be used to restrict an administrative agency's decision to terminate or modify a protected liberty or property interest" as opposed to resolving the issues on a case-by-case basis. Id. at 398. Because the court of appeals held that the CMPA was not unconstitutional on its face simply because it did not contain express written time limits for each step in the process of administering disability benefits, plaintiffs can now only argue that the delays they experienced in having their claims processed by defendants were in *109 themselves so extreme as to constitute a violation of their due process rights. In other words, plaintiffs' claim is limited to an argument that the District has an unwritten policy or custom that violates their rights under the Fifth Amendment.

B. Plaintiffs' § 1985 Claim

Section 1985 creates a civil cause of action for conspiracy to interfere with an individual's civil rights. See 42 U.S.C. § 1985. The extent of plaintiffs' conspiracy claim under § 1985 is that "[d]efendants have acted under color of state law and have maintained through habit, custom, prior practices, rules, and/or regulations, a policy and practice of denying Plaintiffs due process of the law by the arbitrary and capricious administration of the Act" and that "[d]efendant, Jacobs, did conspire with unknown members of the TPA to deprive Plaintiffs of due process of the law." Amended Complaint ¶¶ 90, 91. A conspiracy is a "combination of two or more persons acting in concert to commit an unlawful act, or to commit a lawful act by unlawful means, the principal element of which is an agreement between the parties to inflict wrong against or injury upon another, and an overt act that results in damage." Brady v. Livingood, 360 F.Supp.2d 94, 104 (D.D.C.2004) (citations omitted). In order to survive a motion to dismiss, plaintiffs must "set forth more than just conclusory allegations of an agreement." Graves v. United States, 961 F.Supp. 314, 321 (D.D.C.1997). Plaintiffs must allege "facts showing the existence or establishment of an agreement." Id. Because plaintiffs fail to allege any such facts, they therefore fail to state a claim for conspiracy. See also McManus, at 74 (holding inter alia that plaintiffs' general allegation that defendants engaged in a conspiracy to deprive plaintiffs of access to administrative remedies relating to their claims for disability compensation was insufficient to state a claim under § 1985).

II. Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment

Defendants also move for summary judgment pursuant to Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which provides that "[t]he judgment sought should be rendered if the pleadings, the discovery and disclosure materials on file, and any affidavits show that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). See also Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986).

2. Plaintiffs' Allegations


Tara Rogers
Rogers was injured on three occasions: 1) January 1, 1998, 2) April 27, 1998, and 3) February 4, 2002. It is unclear what process was afforded Rogers in relation to each of these injuries. While the Amended Complaint only references Roger's February 4, 2002, injury, the documents provided by plaintiffs reference primarily the January 1, 1998, and February 4, 2002, injury dates. In addition, claim number 552 is used both in reference to the January 1, 1998, and February 4, 2002, injuries. It could be that the primary injury occurred on January 1, 1998, and that a reoccurrence of that injury occurred on February 4, 2002, or it could be that one claims number was assigned to both injuries. The Court simply cannot tell from the documents provided.


*128 Patricia Hayden

The record is unclear as to how many times Hayden was injured. In different documents, there are indications that she was injured on six separate dates: 1) February 2, 1996, 2) February 9, 1996, 3) February 14, 1996, 4) November 30, 1998, 5) December 15, 1999, and 6) November 30, 2005. While it is possible that Hayden was in fact injured on each of those dates, it is also possible that some of the dates identify recurrences of previous injuries or are typographical errors. The record is simply too unclear to reach any definitive conclusions as to what has occurred with regard to Hayden's various claims for disability compensation. For example, even as to the decision issued by DCP on April 24, 2007, while the caption references an injury date of November 30, 2005, as noted above, the text of the decision references the same $33,203.88 amount which earlier documents indicated was an amount paid Hayden for compensation as to her February 9, 1996, injury. The Court therefore cannot draw any conclusions as to Hayden's claims.

George Morgan
Morgan was injured on May 10, 1983. DEX 18; PEX 153. On August 3, 2007, Morgan received a final decision from DCP and was told that he had until September 1, 2007, to file for a hearing, as described in Step 6 of the above chart. PEX 161 at 1, 3. There is no evidence in the record that Morgan did so and therefore his claim that he has neither received the claimed benefits nor a hearing is without merit.

Denise Downing
Downing was injured on October 12, 1992. PEX 164 at 1. On December 12, 2002, Downing requested a formal hearing, PEX 170 at 1, and a pre-hearing conference was set by OHA for January 24, 2003. PEX 21 at 1; DEX 7 at 2. There is no information in the record as to whether or not a hearing date was set or if a hearing was ever held.

Juanita Irving
Irving was injured on May 31, 2001. DEX 8 at 1; PEX 137. After exhausting all available administrative remedies, Irving filed a claim with the D.C. Court of Appeals. PEX 151 at 1-14. On April 16, 2004, the D.C. Court of Appeals denied Irving's petition but did so without prejudice to renew. There is no evidence in the record that she ever renewed her petition and so therefore her claim that she has neither received the claimed benefits nor a hearing is without merit.

James Winstead
Winstead was injured on 1) July 12, 1990, 2) September 14, 1991, 3) September 19, 1992, and 4) January 12, 1994. PEX 87. On July 10, 2003, DCP issued a decision regarding Winstead's request for disability compensation relating to injuries occurring on all four days. He was also told that had thirty days within which to file for reconsideration. Winstead's request for reconsideration was received on September 12, 2003, and therefore it was denied as untimely by DCP. PEX 104 at 1. Although Winstead was told that he could file for a hearing with OHA by August 30, 2006, as described in Step 6 of the above chart, there is no evidence in the record that he did so and therefore his claim that he has neither received the claimed benefits nor a hearing is without merit.

Louis Beale
Beale was injured on August 13, 2001. PEX 1 at 1. On July 16, 2002, Beale was informed that his claim for disability compensation was being denied because his medical condition was not causally related to his injury. PEX 15. At that point, Beale was told that he had thirty days *129 within which to request reconsideration. Beale's request for reconsideration, however, was not filed until August 21, 2002, and therefore, on June 2, 2006, Beale's final petition for reconsideration was denied as untimely. Beale received all the process that he was due and therefore his claim that he has neither received the claimed benefits nor a hearing is without merit.

Patricia Newby
Newby was injured on November 30, 1998, PEX 48, and on April 2, 2001. DEX 12 at 1; PEX 43. With regard to her November 30, 1998, injury, it appears that her request for disability compensation benefits were denied by letter dated June 24, 2002, although that letter was not included by plaintiffs as one of the exhibits. See PEX 51. It would appear as though Newby would have had thirty days from her receipt of that denial to request reconsideration, as described in Step 4 of the above chart. Because there is no evidence in the record that Newby ever did so, her claim that she has neither received the claimed benefits nor a hearing is therefore without merit.
Similarly, with regard to her April 2, 2001, injury, whether viewed as a separate incident or as a recurrence of the November 30, 1998, injury, the record indicates that on August 2, 2002, Newby was notified that her case was being referred back to the claims adjuster for various purposes. Upon receipt of that decision, Newby had thirty days within which to request a hearing, as described in Step 6 of the above chart. See PEX 46 at 4 (indicating that an application for formal hearing was enclosed). Because there is no evidence in the record that Newby ever requested such a hearing, her claim that she has neither received the claimed benefits nor a hearing is therefore without merit.

Sheila Owens
Owens was injured on February 17, 2004. PEX 189 at 1. On May 19, 2006, Owens was notified that her disability compensation claim had been accepted. PEX 197 at 1. Upon receipt of that decision, Owens had thirty days within which to either request reconsideration or request a hearing, as described in Step 6 of the above chart. Because there is no evidence in the record that Owens did either, her claim that she has neither received the claimed benefits or a hearing is therefore without merit.

Mary Waley
Waley was injured on August 5, 1994. On April 23, 2007, Waley was notified that an earlier decision to reduce her benefits had been upheld. Upon receipt of that decision, Waley had until May 22, 2007, to request a hearing, as described in Step 6 of the above chart. PEX 42 at 6. Because there is no evidence in the record that Waley ever requested such a hearing, her claim that she has neither received the claimed benefits nor a hearing is therefore without merit.

3. The Court's Conclusions

After an extensive review of the record, the Court concludes that there exist genuine issues of material fact as to three of the ten plaintiffs named in the District's motion. These plaintiffs are: 1) Rogers, 2) Hayden, and 3) Downing. As to the remaining seven plaintiffs, there are no genuine issues of material fact. The record simply does not support plaintiffs' contention that these seven plaintiffs suffered any delay. To the contrary, the record clearly indicates that their claims were processed according to the relevant statutory requirements of the CMPA but that rather than continue to press their claims through the administrative process and then through the D.C. Court of Appeals *130 as mandated by the CMPA, plaintiffs decided instead to file suit in District Court. Thus, as to the following seven plaintiffs, defendants are entitled to judgment as a matter of law: 1) Morgan, 2) Irving, 3) Winstead, 4) Beale, 5) Newby, 6) Owens, and 7) Waley.

III. Remaining Plaintiffs

Defendants only moved to dismiss and/or for summary judgment as to ten of the thirteen plaintiffs. Defendants did not seek dismissal and/or summary judgment as to 1) Davis, 2) the estate of Lyles, and 3) the estate of Rasheed. Thus, trial in this matter shall resolve the claims of the following six remaining plaintiffs: 1) Rogers, 2) Hayden, 3) Downing, 4) Davis, 5) the estate of Lyles, and 6) the estate of Rasheed.
An Order accompanies this Memorandum Opinion.

ORDER
In accordance with the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, it is, hereby,
ORDERED that the District of Columbia Defendant's Motion to Dismiss or in the Alternative, for Summary Judgment [# 48] is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.
SO ORDERED.
NOTES
[1]  On May 21, 2007, the estates of two individual plaintiffs were substituted as plaintiffs.
[2]  Fenty became Mayor in January of 2007, and therefore replaced former Mayor Anthony Williams as a named defendant. See http://dc.gov/mayor/bios/fenty.shtm (last visited March 4, 2008).
[3]  Defendant Computer Literacy World/Creative Disability Management was terminated on October 29, 2005. See Stipulation of Dismissal Without Prejudice [# 20].
[4]  Plaintiffs identify the CMPA as the source of their property interest. Amended Complaint ¶ 29.
[5]  Plaintiffs reference the Fifth Amendment in ¶ 1(c) of the Amended Complaint.
[6]  Although the order itself references claim number OBA No. 2721, which was previously associated with plaintiff's January 1, 1998, injury, the attached decision references an injury date in April of 1998. Compare PEX 201 at 1 with PEX 202. See also PEX 202 at 3.
[7]  Although the letter actually identifies the date of the IME as "2008," based on the date of the letter and date of the injury, the Court presumes it was intended to read "2003."
[8]  Previously, the injury occurring on January 1, 1998, was associated with claims number OBA 2721, however, the notice associates the January 1, 1998 injury with claim number 552. Compare PEX 201 with PEX 210.
[9]  In this letter, Rogers associates claims number 552 with her injury of February 4, 2002.
[10]  Although the cover letter accompanying the application identifies the date of injury as February 4, 2002, the attached notice identifies the date of injury as January 1, 1998. Compare PEX at 1 with PEX at 3. Both documents reference claim number 552.
[11]  The letter references claim number 552.
[12]  It is unclear whether the pre-hearing conference was granted as to Rogers' January 1, 1998, injury, or her February 4, 2002, injury, or both.
[13]  The cover letter references her February 4, 2002, injury, and cites claim number 552, but the report itself references her January 1, 1998, injury.
[14]  The letter also references claim number 552.
[15]  The order references claim number 552.
[16]  The letter references claim number 552.
[17]  The determination references claim number 552.
[18]  The determination references claim number 552.
[19]  The April 9, 2004, letter refers to Rogers' February 4, 2002, injury, while the April 2, 2004, determination she seeks reconsideration of references her January 1, 1998, injury. Both documents reference claim number 552.
[20]  The April 12, 2004, letter refers to Rogers' February 4, 2002, injury, while the April 2, 2004, determination refers to her January 1, 1998, injury. Both documents reference claim number 552.
[21]  Although the order does not identify any date of injury, the docket number is the same as that on the December 10, 2002, decision, which does identify the date of injury as February 9, 1996. See PEX 60 at 1.
[22]  Although the letter does not identify a date of injury, the date of the letter and its reference to a payment of $33,203.88 clearly indicates that it was written in response to Hayden's February 2, 2004, letter challenging the DCP's compensation payment calculations relating to her injury of February 9, 1996. See PEX 72.
[23]  Although the petition references an injury date of February 2, 1996, and a recurrence of injury date of December 15, 1999, based on the use by the D.C. Court of Appeals of the claims number used previously to reference Hayden's February 9, 1996, injury, the petition also references the February 9, 1996, injury. See PEX 79; PEX 75 at 1.
[24]  Although the order does not reference any date of injury, it does use the same claim number used previously to reference Hayden's February 9, 1996, injury. Compare PEX 79 with PEX 75 at 1.
[25]  Although the decision references an injury date of November 30, 2005, in its caption, the body of the decision discusses the payment to Hayden of $33,203.88, an amount which the record earlier indicated was made in reference to Hayden's injury of February 9, 1996.
[26]  Although this document does not state that it is in reference to plaintiff's January 21, 1994 injury, the claim number that is referenced in the letter is the same one that appears on the letter sent by Winstead requesting pre-certification. Compare PEX 81 with PEX 82.
[27]  See footnote 26 above.
[28]  Although the determination identifies only the injury that occurred on January 21, 1994, it also references the IME performed by Dr. Smith on October 28, 2002, which related to the injuries that occurred on all four days. See PEX 90 at 1.
[29]  Although the letter itself does not identify any specific dates of injury, it references the claim number assigned by ORM to Winstead's claim as to the injuries that occurred on all four dates. Compare PEX 101 with PEX 98 at 1.
[30]  Although the petition does not identify any specific dates of injury, it references the decision made on August 26, 2003, which relates to the injuries that occurred on all four days. See PEX 98 at 4.
[31]  The show cause order issued by the D.C. Court of Appeals on March 3, 2004, was directed inter alia at both Winstead and Louis Beale, another plaintiff in this case.
[32]  Although the letter does not identify any specific dates of injury, it references the decision made on August 26, 2003, which relates to the injuries that occurred on all four days. See PEX 98 at 4.
[33]  Although the order does not identify any specific dates of injury, it references Winstead's response to the show cause order, which relates to the injuries that occurred on all four days. See PEX 103.
[34]  Although the letter does not identify individual plaintiffs within the body of the letter, it identifies them at the end of the letter and references the appeal filed inter alia by both Winstead and Beale. Compare PEX 28 with PEX 26.
[35]  Although the decision references only the injury date of January 1, 1994, the request for reconsideration it resolves, which was received on September 12, 2003, was one that related to the injuries that occurred on all four days. See PEX 100; PEX 101; PEX 98 at 1.
[36]  Although the order references an injury date of October 25, 2001, it is clear from the identification of Beale's injury by claim number 14409 that the injury referenced in the letter is the one which occurred on August 13, 2001. Compare PEX 4 with PEX 2.
[37]  Although the letter does not indicate the date of Beale's injury nor does it reference a claim number, Beale's February 13, 2002, letter, to which DCP's letter responds, references the August 13, 2001, date of injury.
[38]  Although the letter does not identify the date of Beale's injury, it references claims number 1188, which, in addition to claims number 14409, has been used in reference to his August 13, 2001, injury. Compare PEX 5 with PEX 7.
[39]  Although the order does not identify the date of Beale's injury, it references claims number 14409, which has been used in reference to his August 13, 2001, injury. Compare PEX 14 with PEX 5.
[40]  The letter does not contain a reference to either Beale's date of injury or to a claim number.
[41]  Beale's letter does not reference either his date of injury or a claims number.
[42]  The show cause order issued by the D.C. Court of Appeals on March 3, 2004, was directed inter alia at both Winstead and Beale.
[43]  Although the order does not reference either Beale's date of injury or a claims number, it does reference docket number 19-03, which, although it not the docket number associated with Beale's claim, it is one of the three docket numbers listed on Beale's original petition. Docket number 20-03 is actually the corresponding number to Beale's claim number 1188. Compare PEX 27 with PEX 25 and PEX 26.
[44]  Although the letter does not identify individual plaintiffs within the body of the letter, it both identifies them at the end of the letter and references the appeal filed inter alia by both Winstead and Beale. Compare PEX 28 with PEX 26.
[45]  The original document identifies the date of the letter as 2003; that was crossed out by hand and replaced with "2004."
