141582P.pdf   08/26/2015  Manuel Acosta  v.  Tyson Foods
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  14-1582
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Beam and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Fair Labor Standards Act. Acosta was required to file a 
   timely consent because his FLSA action alleged a collective action and 
   because he failed to do so before the statute of limitations expired, the 
   district court should have dismissed his claims; a claim that an employee 
   is entitled to additional compensation under the FLSA cannot be raised 
   through an action under the Nebraska Collection Act, and the plaintiff's 
   claim fails as a matter of law; the district court's judgment is reversed 
   and the matter is remanded with directions to enter judgment for Tyson.
