Clear and Indisputable Error?

In In re A&D Interests, a FLSA “collective action” involving exotic dancers, the panel majority and a dissent differed over whether the district court’s handling of a notice issue entitled the defendant to mandamus relief. The majority (“Judge Curiam,” speaking on behalf of Judges Smith and Willett) saw “clear and indisputable” error in the district court’s application of recent Circuit precedent, while the dissent (Judge Higginson) did not, citing previous actions in the case by the Court. No. 22-40039-CV (May 3, 2022).
