LUMBER ONE HOME CENTER, INC.

DEFENDANT
JUDGMENT

On the 12th day of March, 2012, this matter came before the Court for trial by jury. The
plaintiffs, Terry Madden, Doug Wortman, and Rebecca O’Bar appeared in person and through their
lawyers, Maryna O. Jackson, Amber R. Schubert, and Steven Rauls. The defendant, Lumber One
Home Center, Inc., appeared through its corporate representative, John Morton, and its attorney,
Harold Wayne Young, Jr. A jury of twelve was duly selected and sworn. After all of the evidence
had been received and the jury had been duly instructed on the law, on March 13, 2012, the jury
returned verdicts finding that Lumber One Home Center, Inc., had met its burden of proving each of
the plaintiffs—Terry Madden, Doug Wortman, and Rebecca O’Bar—was exempt from the overtime
requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act by virtue of the executive exemption. Judgment is
therefore entered in favor of Lumber One Home Center, Inc., on the claims of Terry Madden, Doug
Wortman, and Rebecca O’Bar. The complaint is dismissed with prejudice.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of March, 2012.
