Opinion
Stotler, J.
ORDER: (1) DENYING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY ADJUDICATION; (2) DENYING DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT OR FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT; (3) SUMMARILY ADJUDICATING SPECIFIED ISSUES; (4) RESETTING PRETRIAL CONFERENCE AND TRIAL DATES
I.
SUMMARY
Plaintiffs seek summary adjudication that their rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act ( 29 U.S.C. § 201 , et seq.) (“FLSA”) are not limited by the terms of any agreement between the parties. Defendants seek summary judgment based on the purported existence of a reasonable agreement between the parties. In the alternative, defendants seek partial summary judgment (1) that a two-year statute of limitations applies to plaintiffs’ claims, and (2) that the limitations period was not tolled during the investigation of this case by the Department of Labor (“DOL”). The parties’ motions are hereby denied.
Notwithstanding denial of the parties’ motions, the discussion below provides a limited summary adjudication of issues relevant to the subsequent prosecution of this action. This disposition comes after careful review of the parties’ submissions and upon the Court’s independent research.
