November 10, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 49 MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER: This Order addresses Plaintiffs' Motion in Support of Issuing Court-Authorized Notice to Similarly Situated Employees ("Motion") [ECF No. #42 ], in which Plaintiffs seek to certify a Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA") collective action. Considering all of the available evidence, the Court finds that Plaintiffs failed to meet their burden to show that all Perry's servers in Texas were similarly situated as to the tip pool claim, uniform deduction claim, and side work claims. Accordingly, the Court DENIES Plaintiffs' Motion in Support of Issuing Court-Authorized Notice to Similarly Situated Employees. Having had the opportunity to conduct discovery on the issue of certification, it is not clear to the Court that additional discovery will help Plaintiffs demonstrate that they and members of the proposed collective are similarly situated. Therefore, the opt-in plaintiffs are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE, and Plaintiffs will proceed on their individual claims.
