Zavala v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• dismissing mail and wire fraud RICO claims pleaded on information and belief because “a conclusory declaration to this effect…does not satisfy Rule 9(b)”
• noting case law in which plaintiffs' immigration status was deemed \non-relevant information\ and thus \the employer defendants in [those] FLSA actions were not entitled to discovery of the employees' immigration status\
• finding the complaint sufficient to state an allegation of joint employership where it alleged that the putative joint employer “exercised the power to hire and fire plaintiffs” and “controlled their wages, hours and working conditions”
• “The fact that the Department of Labor, which is charged with enforcing the FLSA, construes the statute to protect undocumented workers, even after Hoffman, further convinces this Court that Plaintiffs’ undocumented status should not bar them from seeking relief under the Act.”
