Parties in ADA Website Case to File Joint Dismissal Stipulation by Dec. 5

U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks for Southern Florida in West Palm Beach, in a paperless order Friday (docket 9:22-cv-81651), gave lawyers for plaintiff Nelson Fernandez and Family Entertainment Group a Dec. 5 deadline to file a joint stipulation of dismissal in Fernandez’s complaint that FEG's website is inaccessible to the blind and visually impaired (see 2211250009). Until the joint stipulation is filed, Middlebrooks “will expect compliance with all pretrial deadlines,” his order said. But in view of the pending settlement, and to avoid unnecessary litigation costs, he extended by a week to Dec. 5 the deadline for Fernandez's lawyers to furnish FEG’s counsel with a written report documenting any claimed ADA violations, it said. Court papers did not disclose the settlement terms.
