U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3258
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Murphy and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - Fair Labor Standards Act. District court dismissed this FLSA
complaint for failure to state a claim. The complaint summarily asserted
that defendants were part of an integrated enterprise and were their
employers, exercising a common management and common ownership, without
regard to the economic realities of their employment. Plaintiffs did not
allege any facts sufficient to allow an inference that the defendants were
their employer and thus the district court did not err in dismissing the
complaint. The district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
their motion to amend based on an inexcusable delay in requesting leave.
