This case involves a motion to compel discovery responses in an FLSA collective action for unpaid overtime brought by Edward Franco against Bank of America Corp. The plaintiff sought the identities of other employees with similar duties and compensation within the prior three years to identify potential opt-in plaintiffs. The defendant objected on grounds that the request was overly broad, lacked geographic limits, and sought irrelevant information. The court granted the motion in part, holding that FLSA precedents permit such discovery prior to class certification to assess whether similarly situated employees exist, but limited the response to employees within Florida.
