Item 8.01 Other Events.

Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. (the "Company") has been notified that on September 15, 2006 Kyle Burke, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York, Brooklyn Division naming the Company, the Administrative Committee of the ACS Savings Plan; Lora Villarreal, Senior Vice President and Chief People Officer; Jeffrey A. Rich, a former director and officer of the Company; our directors (other than Lynn Blodgett); Gerald J. Ford and Clifford M. Kendall, each a former director of the Company; David W. Black, Henry Hortenstine, and Peter A. Bracken, each a former officer and director of the Company; and William L. Deckelman, Executive Vice President, Secretary, and General Counsel and former director of the Company, as defendants. The lawsuit purports to be brought under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and alleges breaches by the defendants of their duties as fiduciaries under the Company's Savings Plan. The allegations arise from the Company's activities relating to the stock option grant process during the period between December 31, 1998 and March 6, 2006. The Company does not believe the claims in this lawsuit have merit and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
