Mathieu Levy appeals the dismissal of his complaint against his former
employer, Remy Cointreau USA, Inc. (Remy). Levy filed suit in district court,
seeking unpaid overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). His
complaint alleged that he worked in excess of 40 hours per week without receiving
the premium under the Act. In the proceedings below, both parties moved for
summary judgment, and the district court granted Remy’s motion, dismissing
Levy’s claim in its entirety.
After consideration of the parties’ briefs and upon thorough review of the
record, we find that the district court properly entered summary judgment. As the
district court correctly found, “because there is no genuine issue that Levy was a
highly compensated employee within the meaning of the regulations, his past
employment is exempt from the overtime provision of the FLSA under the
administrative employee exemption.” This exemption applies “regardless of
whether [Levy’s] primary duty involved the exercise of discretion and independent
judgment with respect to matters of significance.” Accordingly, the judgment of
the district court is
AFFIRMED.
