United States First Circuit

In plaintiffs' suit alleging violations of federal maritime law and state wage laws, district court's judgment is affirmed but based on a different reason where: 1) to the extent the compensatory relief sought under section 10601 is premised on the claim that defendant improperly deducted expenses, there is no evidence upon which any fact-finder could conclude that the deductions were improper; 2) there is nothing in the record that supports an award of punitive damages; and 3) any argument that the district court wrongly decided the merits of the wage claim is considered waived.
