Camacho v. Puerto Rico Ports Authority
Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
Decided May 21, 2004No. 03-2113PublishedCited by 46 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
SELYA, Circuit Judge.
This interlocutory appeal raises a discrete and important question: Can an agency, for purposes of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), 29 U.S.C. §§ 621-634, be regarded as the em ployer of those whom it licenses and regulates? The court below answered this question in the affirmative and, accordingly, ruled that the Puerto Rico Ports Authority (the Authority) was, for ADEA purposes, the de facto employer of the harbor pilots whom it licenses and regulates. See Camacho v. P.R. Ports Auth., 254 F.Supp.2d 220, 227-28 (D.P.R.2003) (Camacho I).
