How courts have described this case

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

  • finding subsections (b)(1) and (b)(2) inapplicable to state law overtime claims, and certifying class under subsection (b)(3)
  • certifying state law class action where thirteen of fifty-one class members had also brought FLSA claims, since state and federal claims were based on same set of facts
  • “Resolution of the common issues in a single judicial forum will promote judicial economy and uniformity of outcome”
  • “many of the class members lack the individual incentive to bring suit, making a class action superior”
  • “Other courts in this district have noted that a 40 person class is ‘generally found to establish numerosity.’”
  • “While this requirement ‘is often referred to as “numerosity,” . . . it might more properly be called the “impracticability” requirement, because the inquiry called for by Rule 23(a)(1) often involves more than merely counting noses.’”
