As a firm specializing in representing employees and dedicated to fighting for workers’ rights, Biller & Kimble, LLC, is thrilled to share a major win in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. In the case of Mighell v. HPG Pizza I, LLC , et al, our team successfully argued to overturn a lower court ruling that dismissed a delivery driver’s claims for lack of standing. The Tenth Circuit’s decision clarifies a key principle of Article III standing in FLSA cases involving unreimbursed vehicle expenses.

We’re excited to share another significant development in the case of Luke Myers v. Papa Texas, LLC . On March 18, 2026, U.S. District Judge David Herrera Urias of the District of New Mexico granted conditional certification of an FLSA collective action—a major step forward that opens the door for delivery drivers across New Mexico and Texas to join the lawsuit and recover unpaid wages. This win builds on the momentum from our February 2026 victory at the Tenth Circuit, where we successfully defeated Papa Texas’s attempt to force the case back into arbitration after the company defaulted on its own arbitration obligations.
