Lawsuit Plaintiffs Strike Again

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.
