Echeverria v. Footlocker Retail, Inc.
Status: On Appeal
Case Details:
Plaintiff alleges Footlocker failed to provide rest and meal periods in conformance with California law. The parties in another case against Footlocker reached a settlement that encompassed these claims. We represented Plaintiff Echeverria and other objectors who objected to the settlement reached. The court of appeal agreed and reversed the judgment of the trial court granting final approval of the settlement. You can find the court of appeal decision at Kullar v. Foot Locker Retail, 168 Cal. App. 4th 116 (2008). Footlocker and Kular again sought approval of the original settlement. During the course of the proceedings, Footlocker sought to disqualify Qualls & Workman, LLP. The trial court denied the request. Footlocker filed an appeal of that ruling. The Appeal is currently pending.
