IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

JONESBORO DIVISION 

PEDRO PALMA, Individually 

and on Behalf of all Others 

Similarly Situated PLAINTIFF

v. No. 3:18-cv-208-DPM

WEST MEMPHIS FENCE & 

CONSTRUCTION, INC. DEFENDANT 

ORDER 

The motion for conditional certification, No 11, is denied without 

prejudice, with equitable tolling to Palma, and with instructions. The 

Court directs targeted written discovery and depositions on the 

employee/contractor issue, and on how defendant operates its 

business. In the circumstances, the Court prefers to consider 

conditional certification on a more-complete picture of defendant’s 

operations and whether others are similarly situated. Renewed motion 

due by 29 July 2019. 

So Ordered.
