In August 2004, the San Francisco District Office of the EEOC brought this suit against Lambka and Renfroe, d/b/a as Perko's CafÈ, and Dynaco, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. The EEOC alleged that the defendant discriminated against the charging party, a Hispanic employee, and a class of other Hispanic and Mexican employees on the basis of their national origin in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. After the parties participated in a voluntary dispute program, the defendant Dynaco was voluntarily dismissed from the case. The remaining parties settled through a consent decree in early August 2005.

The three-year decree, containing a non-retaliation clause, required the defendant to: revise and distribute its EEO policies, report to the EEOC at specified intervals, provide Title VII training for all its employees, and pay $35,000 to be divided among several claimants. The docket sheet shows that no further enforcement took place; the case was presumably closed in 2008.
