The two women who sued Apple in August over accessibility issues at the San Francisco (Calif.) retail store have filed a similar lawsuit against the Loew’s movie theater chain. Jana Overbo and Nicole-Brown Booker filed only their second-ever lawsuit in U.S. District Court, alleging the theater’s design and policies violate the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Their 18-page complaint details a series of visits the women made to the Metreon movie theater in downtown San Francisco, and the access issues they encountered. Their lawsuit against Apple continues: the plaintiffs requested their case be transferred to a U.S. Magistrate Judge, instead of being heard by a District Judge. Apple protested, so on October 19th the case was assigned to Judge Susan Illiston for future actions. Download (pdf) the original Apple lawsuit filing.

Well, there you go. They’re a pair of ADA trolls.
