Stubblefield v. Town of W. Yellowstone
Annotate this CasePlaintiffs were employed as by the Town of West Yellowstone. Plaintiff contended that the Town's on-call policy for police officers prior to 2009 was so restrictive that they could not engage in personal activities between shifts, and therefore, they should have been compensated for all their time spent on call, and not just for call outs, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). After a jury trial, the trial court entered judgment in favor of the Town. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that there was sufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict in favor of the Town, and Plaintiffs failed to show that the jury's verdict was either inherently impossible to believe or that there was a complete absence of evidence in support of the verdict.
