United States Third Circuit

Summary judgment in favor of defendant-town in an action brought by plaintiff-police officers alleging violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is affirmed, where the district court did not err in finding that: 1) defendant-town qualified for an exemption to the general overtime provisions; 2) plaintiffs failed to meet their burden in establishing damages; 3) plaintiffs are compensated for muster time as component of their salaries; 4) donning and doffing police uniforms and gear is non-compensable under the FLSA; and 5) section 203(o) of the FLSA forecloses plaintiffs from seeking compensation for donning and doffing.
