SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 3 – A website selling
clothing has been sued in the
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
for excluding the visually
impaired. But when SDNY Judge
John G. Koeltl on January 27
asked the plaintiff's lawyer
what kind of clothing the
website sells, he replied that
he thought it was women's
clothing.
Inner City
Press was the only media in
Judge Koeltl's courtroom, and
hours later it visited the
subject website. The top three
photos were all of men's
clothing.
The
defendant through counsel said
it wanted to file a motion to
dismiss. But as Judge Koeltl
pointed out, it is not
permissible on such a motion
to include an expert affidavit
about changes made to make the
site compliant with the ADA.
So the case lives on. It is
Calcano v. Aime Leon Dore,
Inc., 19-cr-9712
(Koeltl).
