Municipality No. One v. Gas Light Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding plaintiff's Complaint sufficiently alleged that a defendant was plaintiff's employer when the Complaint stated that defendant was plaintiff's supervisor and alleged facts that defendant took some part in alleged FMLA violation
• noting that “[s]ome federal district courts have concluded that a tort claim of wrongful discharge under New Mexico law cannot exist when another cause of action provides redress[,]” but ultimately disagreeing with those courts
• denying motion to dismiss wrongful termination claim based on allegations that defendants’ actions violated FMLA
• “Plaintiff is not required to specifically allege all facts relevant to the individual defendants’ authority, especially when the factual record has not yet been developed through discovery.”
• “The Court therefore concludes that the FMLA subjects an employee of a public agency ‘who acts . . . in the interest of an employer to any of the employees of such employer’ to individual liability for violations of the statute.”
