November 9, 2007 Ninth Circuit Decisions
On November 9, 2007, the Ninth Circuit issued one published opinion and one published orders:
In Doran v. 7-Eleven, Inc., the Ninth Circuit held that a plaintiff has standing to challenge alleged ADA violations not personally experienced by the plaintiff, where the violations the plaintiff did experience prevented the plaintiff form personally discovering those violations. Thus, here, where the plaintiff’s was prevented access by inadequate disabled parking and wheelchair ramp, other violations discovered by his expert may also be challenged. The Court also affirmed a ruling that failure to allow a disabled patron access to an employee only restroom is not a violation of the ADA.
In Montalvo v. Spirit Airlines, the Ninth Circuit amended a typographical error, and added a case number of one of the consolidated appeals, Hind v. Southwest Airlines, Case No,. 05-17181, to the opinion originally filed October 4, 2007.
