Moore, et al v. Pak, No. 11-15227 (11th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CasePlaintiffs filed suit against defendants, Appliance Direct and its CEO, alleging that defendants retaliated against them for filing an overtime lawsuit, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201-219. Both parties subsequently appealed from the district court's judgment. The court held that reasonable jurors could differ as to whether the CEO was an employer under the requirements of the FLSA, but considering the evidence in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, the district court properly denied his motions for judgment as a matter of law; the evidence was sufficient for a jury to award plaintiffs compensatory damages in the amount of $30,000 each, and the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the CEO's motions on this ground; and the district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to award liquidated damages. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
