Claim Types
Outcome
The court dismissed the Secretary of Labor's Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) suit for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction because the case involved an unsettled issue of law regarding whether the defendant's ice manufacturing and sales operations constituted 'commerce' under the FLSA, a determination the court found had not been finally settled by appellate courts.
