Before MARCUS, WILSON, and WILLIAM PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: 

USCA11 Case: 14-15467 Date Filed: 05/26/2015 Page: 1 of 2

Mathieu Levy appeals the dismissal of his complaint against his former 

employer, Remy Cointreau USA, Inc. (Remy). Levy filed suit in district court, 

seeking unpaid overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). His 

complaint alleged that he worked in excess of 40 hours per week without receiving 

the premium under the Act. In the proceedings below, both parties moved for 

summary judgment, and the district court granted Remy’s motion, dismissing 

Levy’s claim in its entirety.

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

record, we find that the district court properly entered summary judgment. As the 

district court correctly found, “because there is no genuine issue that Levy was a 

highly compensated employee within the meaning of the regulations, his past 

employment is exempt from the overtime provision of the FLSA under the 

administrative employee exemption.” This exemption applies “regardless of 

whether [Levy’s] primary duty involved the exercise of discretion and independent 

judgment with respect to matters of significance.” Accordingly, the judgment of 

the district court is

AFFIRMED.
