U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams on Wednesday denied a motion by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan to dismiss a suit filed earlier this year by a contract attorney who claims the firm should have paid him overtime for a document review stint he did.

Ruling in Manhattan federal district court Wednesday, Abrams allowed the suit to proceed to “limited discovery” and added that she would entertain a request for summary judgment once more information pertinent to the case is submitted.
