Easter v. US, No. 08-5187

In a dispute over whether the commuting time for federal employees who use government vehicles constitutes a compensable period of work under the Fair Labor Standards Act, summary judgment for the government is affirmed where there are no regulations or rulings by either the OPM or the Department of Labor that dictate a different result from that reached by this court when it resolved prior similar disputes.
