Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Florida

________________________

(July 9, 2015)

Before WILSON, JORDAN, and JILL PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: 

Maximillian Abreu, on behalf of himself and other similarly situated 

Appellants (collectively, Appellants), appeals the district court’s order granting 

Defendant-Appellee Dmitri Kotikovski’s motion for summary judgment.

Appellants filed suit against their former employer, Russian Palace, Inc. (Russian 

Palace), and Kotikovski individually pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act 

(FLSA), alleging that they had not been paid weekly and overtime wages. The 

district court entered a default judgment against Russian Palace and Kotikovski.

However, Kotikovski successfully moved to set aside the default judgment against 

him and subsequently filed a motion for summary judgment, which the district 

court granted. 

After consideration of the parties’ briefs and upon thorough review of the 

record, we find that summary judgment was properly entered. The district court 

correctly determined that Abreu failed to present evidence that Russian Palace

exceeded the gross annual revenue threshold of $500,000.00 required to establish

enterprise coverage under the FLSA, and he failed to establish that Appellants

were entitled to individual coverage under FLSA as cooks, chefs, servers, and 

managers because their job duties were inconsistent with duties that have been 

considered to include activities of interstate commerce. Accordingly, the judgment 

of the district court granting Kotikovski’s motion for summary judgment is

AFFIRMED.
