Montgomery v. Havner, et al, No. 12-1977 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff appealed the district court's adverse grant of summary judgment to defendants on plaintiff's claim that defendants retaliated against her in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), 29 U.S.C. 201 et seq. The court held that the district court did not err in deciding that plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case of retaliation under the FLSA. No reasonable jury could conclude that plaintiff's discussion with one of the defendants about the ten-minute deduction on her time card was a sufficiently clear and detailed FLSA complaint for defendants reasonably to understand that plaintiff was alleging a FLSA violation.
