The plaintiffs in the case, Matthew Chavez and Nicole Deis, were former employees of Roise Barbers, Inc. They sought damages, relief, and restitution under California law, alleging employment and labor violations. The amended complaint specifically added Floyds 99 Holdings, LLC, and Floyds 99 Franchising, LLC, as defendants.
