SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 31 – Thomas Lau sued
Wells Fargo to recover
overtime compensation, minimum
wages and attorney's fees.
On August
23, 2022 U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Paul A.
Engelmayer held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Wells Fargo had
indication it wanted to move
for summary judgment. Judge
Engelmayer inquired into
factual disputes, including
when employees were told about
Wells' overtime
policies.
He said it
looked unlikely that a summary
judgment motion could succeed,
but gave Wells Fargo's outside
counsel until August 31 to
confer with his client then
file a letter if he will, in
fact, move for summary
judgment.
On August 31,
Wells Fargo's outside counsel
at Seyfarth in Houston wrote
to Judge Engelmayer,
"Defendants respectfully
advise the Court that they
will not move for summary
judgment in this matter. We
are available if we can
provide the Court with any
additional information." What
more is there to say?
Now, a Pre Trial
Order is due by October 18.
The case is Lau
v. Wells Fargo & Company
et al., 20-cv-3870
