Facts

Plaintiff Doris Miller was a hair stylist employed by Supercuts in Los Angeles. Miller sought to certify a class of fellow hair stylists employed by Supercuts who were not properly compensated for overtime hours beginning in 2002.

Contentions

PLAINTIFFS' CONTENTIONS:
Miller contended that Supercuts incorrectly calculated overtime and failed to base their calculations against a one-week period of regular pay.

DEFENDANT'S CONTENTIONS:
Supercuts countered that their calculations were correct and they were not required to use the "one-week" method as espoused by Miller for calculating overtime pay.

Damages

Miller sought an unspecified amount in damages for overtime compensation and other claims.

Result

The court granted summary judgment to Supercuts on all the claims in the complaint and denied Miller's motion for class certification as moot.
