Kyle Halle v. Galliano Marine Service, LLC

EDWARD C. PRADO, Circuit Judge:

Plaintiff-Appellant Kyle Halle sued Gal-liano Marine Service, LLC 1 and C-Innovation, LLC (collectively, “the Defendants”) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“the FLSA” or “the Act”) to recover unpaid wages for overtime worked during his employment at C-Innovation. The district court granted summary judgment against Halle because it concluded that Halle qualified as a “seaman” under the FLSA and was thus exempt from the Act’s overtime provisions. Halle appealed. We REVERSE and REMAND this case for further proceedings.
