A federal judge in Manhattan has denied an attempt by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan to file a second motion to dismiss a contract attorney’s suit claiming that he should have been paid overtime for his work doing document review.
U.S. District Court Judge Ronnie Abrams issued an order on Monday accepting plaintiff William Henig’s second amended complaint filed in the Southern District of New York, which alleges that Quinn Emanuel and legal staffing agency Providus New York violated federal Fair Labor Standards Act provisions during his six weeks of work in 2012 as a contract attorney doing document review.
