MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

JOHN A. ROSS, District Judge.

This matter is before the Court on Defendants' Daubert Motion to Preclude Plaintiffs' Proposed Expert L. Scott Baggett, Ph.D. from Testifying or Otherwise Proffering the Opinions and Calculations Contained in his Proposed Expert Report (Doc. No. 313). The motion is fully briefed and ready for disposition.

Plaintiffs are former satellite installation and service technicians classified as W-2 employees of one of DirecTV's Home Services Providers ("HSPs") — MasTec, Multiband, DirectSat, DirecTV Home Services, and DTV Home Services II, LLC (and its predecessor entities). Plaintiffs allege the piece rate pay system used throughout DirecTV's provider network fails to compensate them for work deemed nonproductive in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), 29 U.S.C. §§ 201 et seq., and the Missouri Minimum Wage Law ("MMWL"), Mo. Rev. Stat. §§ 290.500 et seq.

Plaintiffs contend the existence of uncompensated time resulting in technicians being underpaid can be resolved on a class-wide basis to show that the class members were damaged. Plaintiffs have retained statistician L. Scott Baggett, Ph.D., as an expert witness to analyze documents, computer data and sworn questionnaire responses to calculate, among other things, the amount of unpaid wages owed to Plaintiffs. (See Baggett Report, Doc. No. 385-3) The use of representative evidence to prove damages is justified only where it is reasonable to believe that the testifying witnesses' experiences are sufficiently similar to those of the rest of the nontestifying plaintiffs. See Rousell v. Briker Int'l, Inc., CIV.A.H-05-3733, 2008 WL 2714079, *22 (S.D. Tex. July 9, 2008). In light of the Court's rulings herein denying summary judgment and decertifying the FLSA subclasses,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants' Daubert Motion to Preclude the Tesitmony of L. Scott Baggett, Ph.D. [313] is DENIED as moot.
