finds that Plaintiff was an exempt executive employee under 29 U.S.C. §213(a)(1) 

during the period from January 24, 2010 through the end of his employment. The Court 

further finds that Plaintiff was a non-exempt employee during the period from August 25, 

2009 through January 23, 2010 and is entitled of overtime pay of $1475.19 for that
