McFarlane et al v. Harry’s Nurses Registry, Inc. et al –> 1:17-cv-06350-PKC-PK –> Date Filed: 11/01/2017
- Docket – #61: ORDER: For the reasons set forth in the attached Memorandum and Order, the Court (1) grants Plaintiffs’ summary judgment motion as to Defendant Dorvilier’s liability under the FLSA and NYLL for failure to pay wages and overtime wages, but denies summary judgment on Plaintiffs’ request for damages on those claims; (2) grants Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment as to Defendant Dorvilier’s liability for liquidated damages under the FLSA and NYLL, but denies summary judgment as to the amount of damages; (3) denies Plaintiffs’ summary judgment motion as to retaliation under the FLSA and NYLL; (4) denies Plaintiffs’ summary judgment motion as to adequate records under the NYLL; and (5) grants Plaintiffs’ motion for default judgment against Defendants Harry’s Nurses and Harry’s HomeCare, as to liability for unpaid wages, overtime, and liquidated damages under the FLSA and NYLL, but denies default judgment as to their claims against Harry’s Nurses and Harry’s HomeCare for retaliation under the FLSA and NYLL, and for failure to comply with the NYLL records requirements. The Court defers the award of damages as to Defendants Harry’s Nurses and Harry’s HomeCare until after further summary judgment briefing or a damages trial as to Defendant Dorvilier. In light of the above findings, the Court encourages Plaintiffs to consider pursuing, via a supplemental summary judgment motion, damages using a regular rate of pay of $19.00/hour and overtime rate of $28.50/hour, rather than proceeding to trial on damages. The Court grants Plaintiffs leave to renew their motion for summary judgment based on damages for their unpaid wages, overtime pay, and liquidated damages claims, as to which Defendants have been found liable as a matter of law, within thirty (30) days from the date of this Memorandum and Order. Should Plaintiffs opt not to do so, the parties shall file a joint pre-trial order, in anticipation of a damages trial, that complies with the Court’s Individual Rules within sixty (60) days from the date of this Memorandum and Order.

Dorvilier mentions Plaintiff by name several times and apparently alludes to this Court’s [PI]: “‘The judge said, now, if you talk about Claudia Gayle, about her and the law, you’re going to be[] penalized $500 per day[.]’” (Id. (quoting Dorvilier’s video).) On August 19, 2025, the Court directed Plaintiff to confirm whether the violation was ongoing, (8/19/2025 Dkt. Order), which Plaintiff confirmed the same day, (Pl. Ltr., Dkt. 115). The Court also directed Dorvilier to “show cause why he should not be fined as required by the PI for the duration of the violation identified by Plaintiff” by August 28, 2025. (8/19/2025 Dkt. Order.) To date, Dorvilier has failed to respond (Entered:09/04/25).
