ORDER
JAMES M. MOODY, JR., District Judge.
Defendants Fowler Foods, Inc. and Chris Fowler (the "Fowler Defendants") have filed a motion for summary judgment of Plaintiffs' claims against them. The Fowler Defendants claim that they are not Plaintiffs' employer. Plaintiffs contend that the Fowler Defendants are joint employers with Southwest Arkansas Foods, Inc. under the FLSA and AMWA.
After review of the record, the Court finds there is a question of fact regarding the relationship between Plaintiffs and the Fowler Defendants. Although the employer-employee relationship is a question of law, the legal determination is, in part, based upon the facts. Weber v. Fowler Foods, Inc., No. 3:18CV000150 JM, 2019 WL 122974 (E.D. Ark. Jan. 1, 2019). For this reason, the Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 11) is DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
