Background

Juan Lopez brought the case on behalf of himself and others similarly situated in a proposed collective action under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The defendants are Fluxpace Design & Build LLC and others. The court received a report from its mediation program stating that the parties had reached a settlement.

Freeport Pancake House, Inc., 796 F.3d 199 (2d Cir. 2015).

The court ordered that the proposed settlement and memorandum be filed no later than June 17, 2025. Judge Andrew L. Carter, Jr. signed the order on June 3, 2025.
