This is a negligence action brought in federal court under diversity jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. 1332. Plaintiffs' fifteen-year-old son, Travis Reed, was driving an all terrain vehicle on a rural road in Oklahoma when a truck driven by Defendant Lambertson struck and killed him.

Plaintiffs appeal only the jury's apportionment of fault, arguing the district court improperly instructed the jury that the all terrain vehicle was illegally on the road at the time of the accident. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1291. We affirm. I. In April 2000, Plaintiffs attended a family gathering in rural farm country in Oklahoma. Plaintiffs' son, Travis Reed, wanted to drive his grandfather's all terrain vehicle (ATV) to his aunt's home nearby. After receiving permission to take the ATV, Travis drove it down the driveway and onto the roadway. On the road, a hill prevented easy observation of oncoming traf...

KRAVITCH, Circuit Judge: The plaintiffs-appellants are migrant farm workers from Mexico (the "Farmworkers") employed by the defendants-appellees Florida Pacific Farms, L.L.C. and Sleepy Creek Farms, Inc.

The Farmworkers sued the Growers, alleging a failure by the Growers to comply with the minimum wage provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"), 29 U.S.C. §§ 203(m) & 206(a), and the terms of the work contracts.
