Rodriguez Asalde v. First Class Parking Systems, LLC, No. 16-16814 (11th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this Case
The Eleventh Circuit withdrew its previous opinion and issued this opinion in its place.
Plaintiffs, who are valets, filed a putative class action against FCPS, alleging claims under the minimum-wage and overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The court held that the district court correctly ruled that the vehicles parked by plaintiffs while working as valets for FCPS were not "materials" under the FLSA. Nonetheless, FCPS was not entitled to summary judgment on the issue of "enterprise" coverage. The court held that, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, a jury could find that the valet tickets used by plaintiffs in their work for FCPS constituted "materials" under the FLSA's "handling clause," and thus provided "enterprise" coverage. Accordingly, the court affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
This opinion or order relates to an opinion or order originally issued on June 29, 2018.
