The claims of Thomas Johnson, Amber Miller, and Mary Smith were dismissed 10 because they failed to respond to discovery. Ariel Wilcox subsequently withdrew her consent.

The plaintiffs amended a second time to substitute 2 original defendant ARCA, Inc. The plaintiffs thereafter 23 amended the complaint to substitute Cadena and Gonzales as named plaintiffs because Curley Case 2:18-cv-00233-APG-DJA Document 112 Filed 07/21/21 of 18 1 had become unresponsive. The defendants removed the case to this court.

21 This case was initiated in state court by former named plaintiff Danielle Curley. Finally, they assert a breach of contract claim for failure to pay 20 for all work performed.

They also assert state law violations for the 18 failure to pay for all hours worked, minimum wages and overtime, and timely payment of wages 19 due and owing upon termination. They contend that the failure to account and pay for this time 17 resulted in overtime violations under the FLSA. Specifically, they contend that they were not paid for time spent 14 booting up their computers before clocking into a timekeeping program at the beginning of their 15 shifts and for time spent powering down the computers after clocking out of the timekeeping 16 program at the end of their shifts. The plaintiffs sue on behalf of themselves and similarly situated 12 employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and Nevada law, claiming they were not 13 paid for all time worked.
