On September 23, 2005, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC"), on behalf of a female employee, filed a lawsuit in the Northern District Court of Texas, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended by Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, against Simran Investments, Inc. d/b/a Only $1.00 and Nothing Over $1.00. The EEOC sought injunctive relief, compensatory damages, punitive damages, attorneys' fees, and other forms of affirmative relief claiming that the defendant subjected the complainant to a sexually hostile work environment because of her sex, female, and then fired her in retaliation for complaining of sexual harassment.

On December 15, 2006, the District Court (Judge Barbara M. G. Lynn) entered a consent decree where the defendant, among other things, agreed to pay the complainant $20,000.
