Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Plaintiff Troy A. Tyler filed suit against Defendants Westway Automotive Service Center, Inc., Brett Holcombe, and Craig Goldstein, attempting to collect unpaid overtime compensation under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), 29 U.S.C. § 201, et seq. After the jury awarded Tyler $7,392.00, Defendants appealed, contending: (1) neither Westway Automotive nor Holcombe were properly considered Tyler's employer under the FLSA; (2) the district court should have granted a mistrial based on the improper closing arguments of Plaintiffs counsel; and (3) the district court improperly denied Defendant Goldstein's motion for sanctions.
After review, we conclude that Defendants' arguments lack merit. Consequently, we affirm the $7,392.00 judgment in favor of Plaintiff Tyler.
AFFIRMED.
. The jury awarded $3,696.00. Pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 216(b), that amount was doubled as a liquidated damages award.
