In Cerrato Galan v. Style Management, Judge Broderick granted a one-week extension to seek approval of an FLSA settlement.
The extension affected Ronald Cerrato Galan and the defendants by moving the deadline for serving the motion to approve their FLSA settlement from January 20 to January 27, 2023.
What happened
Ronald Cerrato Galan’s lawyer told the court that the parties had reached a settlement in principle concerning claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act and New York Labor Law. The court had directed the plaintiff to submit a motion seeking approval of the Fair Labor Standards Act settlement by January 20, 2023.
The plaintiff asked, with the defendants’ consent, for one additional week to serve that motion. The request explained that defense counsel was unavailable because of a family emergency and that the parties still needed to confer about the joint approval motion. The plaintiff had already received two extensions.
The court granted the application, extending the deadline from January 20 to January 27, 2023. The order was signed by Judge Vernon S. Broderick.
