Fioto v. Manhattan Woods Golf Enterprises, LLC

United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
270 F. Supp. 2d 401 (2003)

Facts

Anthony Fioto (plaintiff) was employed by Manhattan Woods Golf Club (the golf club) (defendant) as a sales manager. On July 15, 2000, Fioto called the golf club to notify it that he needed to miss work because his mother had been hospitalized due to cancer and was having brain surgery that day. Fioto spent the day at the hospital but did not see his mother after the surgery. There was no other evidence as to what Fioto did at the hospital or whether his mother was conscious at any point. Fioto was fired for missing work that day. Fioto sued the golf club for violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and breach of contract. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Fioto on both claims and awarded damages. At the conclusion of trial, the golf club made a motion for judgment as a matter of law on the FMLA claim.
