U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 10-1733
U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls
[PUBLISHED] [Smith, Author, with Beam and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Fair Labor Standards Act. The district court erred in finding
that the special detail exemption of the Fair Labor Standards Act applied
to the plaintiff firefighters' claims for overtime compensation for work
performed for the State of South Dakota as there was a genuine issue of
material fact whether the City was the firefighters' employer during their
deployment to fight wildfires.
