PER CURIAM.

-- 1 of 2 --

This is an appeal from an adverse adjudication of civil contempt made by the
district court in Fair Labor Standards Act proceedings first initiated more than a1
decade ago by the Secretary of the United States Department of Labor against El Pato,
Inc., doing business as El Maguey Corporation, Inc.; JYR’s El Maguey Corporation,
Inc., doing business as El Maguey Mexican Restaurant; El Sapo, Inc., doing business
as El Maguey Restaurant; Manuel Jaime; Humberto Jaime; and Justo Adan. After
careful review of the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, we conclude that
the district court did not abuse its discretion. See F.T.C. v. Neiswonger, 580 F.3d
769, 773 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
