Ruiz v. Affinity Logistics Corp., 10-55581

In a class action for alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and California laws, the district court's judgment in favor of the defendant is vacated, where: 1) the issue of whether the district court properly applied California's choice of law framework was not waived; 2) the district court erred when it concluded that Georgia law applied; 3) the parties' choice of Georgia law was unenforceable in California; and 4) under California's choice of law framework, the law of California applied.
