Inaccessible Website Suit vs. American International Industries Is Settled

Plaintiff Ramon Fontanez and defendant American International Industries settled allegations that American’s website is inaccessible to blind and visually impaired people in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act, said a notice from Fontanez’s attorney Tuesday (docket 1:22-cv-05583) in U.S. District Court for Southern New York (see 2211210087). “A settlement agreement is in the process of being finalized between the parties,” said the lawyer. Once it’s fully executed, and Fontanez has received the “consideration required,” the parties will ask that the case be dismissed and closed, he said. He asked the court to stay the action and adjourn all deadlines and conferences for 60 days.
