How courts have described this case

• explaining that at conditional-certification stage plaintiffs need only offer \modest factual showing\ and that court should refrain from resolving factual disputes
• noting that \district courts have considerable discretion in managing the process of joining similarly situated employees in a manner that is both orderly and sensible\
• comparing the statutory language of section 216(b) and the DCMWA as it existed in 2012
• describing \a low standard of proof because the purpose of this first stage is merely to determine whether 'similarly situated' plaintiffs do in fact exist\
• excluding employees who worked at six hospitals from a purported class where the plaintiffs failed to “present any evidence that there was a common practice at those six hospitals”
