Federal Judge calls Fair Labor Standards Act a “Nuisance” | Tampa Bay Disability Benefits Lawyer

The Honorable Judge Kenneth L. Ryskamp, of the Federal District Court for the District of South Florida recused himself after the attorney for Michael Guttentag filed a Motion for Judicial Disqualification and Recusal. In the Guttentag vs. Abercrombie &Fitch Stores, Inc. case, Mr. Guttentag’s attorney cited to the Judges statements in prior cases referring to all Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) claims as a “Nuisance.”  The motion also highlighted language from previous orders written by the judge referring to Fair Labor Standards Act cases as “just a lawyer’s retirement bill.”
