L.C., 527 U.S. 581 (1999), Title VII requires employers to treat pregnant employees with work limitations as favorably as other groups of nonpregnant employees who are similar in their ability or inability to work, A majority of the courts of appeals (including the Fourth Circuit here) have erred in construing the PDA because the statute's prohibition on sex discrimination requires that pregnant employees be "treated the same" for "all employment-related purposes" as other persons who are similar "in their ability or inability to work", Review by the Court is not warranted at this time because Congress's enactment of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 may lead courts to reconsider their approach in evaluating claims similar to petitioner's, and the EEOC is currently considering adopting new enforcement guidance on pregnancy discrimination that would clarify its interpretation of various issues related to pregnancy under the PDA and the ADA, The district court correctly dismissed plaintiffs' Title II and Section 504 claims because the plaintiffs do not have a right to contest transfer and the closure of the two state institutions under Title II, Section 504, or Olmstead, A serious risk of institutionalization states a claim under the ADA, Doctors are not exempt from claims under the ADA and Rehabilitation Act, Both Acts prohibit disability discrimination by health care providers, and discharging a patient because the patient sued for access is the definition of retaliation, A "sensory skill" includes physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities that impair an individual's ability to process what he sees, reads, or hears, Testing accommodation claims should be analyzed under the "best ensure" standard of Section 309's implementing regulation (28 C.F.R.

with a disability who personally encounters a barrier at the entrance to a restaurant that currently deters him from visiting the facility has standing and is entitled to seek injunctive relief as to all the restaurant's barriers that pertain to his disability, A school district that is deliberately indifferent to student-on-student disability-based harassment is liable for damages, The evidence in this case is sufficient for the plaintiffs to survive summary judgment, There is sufficient evidence that the harassment Montana suffered was based on his disabilities, that it was sufficiently severe and pervasive to be actionable, and that school officials had sufficient knowledge of this harassment to trigger their obligation to act, Plaintiff has sufficiently pleaded a Section 504 claim, The court does not need to decide the Title II constitutional question now; in any event, Title II validly abrogates Eleventh Amendment immunity in this context, Title II requires that a city, when it provides on-street parking, provide some on-street parking reasonably accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities, even though no current ADA regulation directly addresses this obligation, Title II properly abrogates state sovereign immunity where it ensures accessible public facilities, The requirements of Title II and Section 504 are enforceable in a suit for injunctive relief pursuant to the Ex Parte Young doctrine, Regulations authoritatively construing Title II and Section 504 are enforceable under those statutes' private rights of action, The district court did not adequately consider Eleventh Circuit precedent and persuasive authority, holding that a school district may be deliberately indifferent to harassment when it knows that its remedial measures have been ineffective and fails to take any further action reasonably calculated to eliminate the harassment, The appellate court should consider whether Johnson's Title II claim fails for the same evidentiary reasons as his Eighth Amendment claim, in which case the court need not reach the constitutional question, Title II validly abrogates sovereign immunity in the prison context, In the context of policing, pretrial detention, and parole supervision, Title II is valid legislation pursuant to Section Five of the Fourteenth Amendment and so can abrogate sovereign immunity, Properly understood, Olmstead establishes community placement as the default for people for whom community placement is appropriate but who cannot express a preference either for or against community placement, The class certified in this case meets the requirements of Rule 23, Title II is valid Fourteenth Amendment legislation in cases involving licensing, including professional licensing, Plaintiffs have adequately pleaded violations of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, Title II is valid Section 5 legislation to the extent that it ensures accessible public facilities, Title II is valid Commerce Clause legislation, Justice Department regulations are enforceable under Title II's authoritatively construing Title II private right of action, Title II regulates only current economic activity and that, The district court erred in holding that to establish a violation under the statutes, Argenyi needed to show that he would be effectively excluded from the medical school without the assistance of the auxiliary aids and services he requested, The district court erred in disregarding Argenyi's statements concerning the effectiveness of the auxiliary aids Creighton provided, and deferring to Creighton's decision not to allow Argenyi to use interpreters in clinics as an "academic" decision, The district court correctly concluded that under Section 309 of Title III, which expressly addresses professional examinations, and its implementing regulation, the examination must be administered so as to "best ensure" that the exam measures the applicant's achievement or aptitude, rather than reflect the individual's disability, The district court correctly rejected defendant's argument that, notwithstanding the plain language of the regulation, a "reasonable accommodation" standard applies, The term "reasonable" is not used in Section 309 or the regulation, but is contained in a separate provision of Title III, and the more generalized reasonableness standard does not override the more specific regulatory guidance directed at testing, The district court erred in requiring plaintiffs to show that they were treated differently than similarly situated individuals who do not have disabilities to prove intentional discrimination based on disability, The district court misconstrued plaintiffs' intentional discrimination claims and applied an erroneous standard in determining whether plaintiffs presented sufficient evidence to raise genuine issues of material fact for trial concerning the City's discriminatory intent, DOJ's regulation is a reasonable interpretation of a public accommodation's obligation under Title III, The district court erred in not deferring to DOJ's regulation, Disney failed to establish a legitimate safety defense to support its Segway ban, Title II's abrogation of sovereign immunity is valid as applied to the class of cases involving the receipt of public benefits, A state law that precludes a public entity from making a reasonable accommodation is preempted, Disney challenged the validity of DOJ's newly issued regulation that creates a rebuttable presumption that a place of public accommodation must permit Segways and other classes of personal, power-driven mobility devices unless the public accommodation establishes that permitting such devices create a legitimate safety risk or would require a fundamental alteration, DOJ's regulation is a valid and reasonable interpretation of a public accommodation's obligation under Title III, The presence of an alternative device does not defeat an individual's claim that his mobility device of choice is necessary, and that the court should defer to DOJ's regulation and DOJ's interpretation of what constitutes a reasonable and necessary modification, None of the constitutional provisions from which a ministerial exception may derive - the Free Exercise Clause, the Establishment Clause and the freedom of association - precludes the application of the anti-retaliation provisions of the ADA in this case, The district court correctly determined that the ADA's prohibition against the current use of illegal drugs neither exempts the use of medical marijuana nor does it create a repeal of the CSA by implication, Title II is constitutional legislation under Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment and the Commerce Clause, Regulations implementing Title II are enforceable in a private suit, Provision of sidewalks and streets is a "service", Plaintiffs did not fail to state a Section 504 claim, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act require the school district to allow R.K. to attend his neighborhood school unless it is necessary for him to attend a school with a nurse, Because R.K. did not seek any special education services and did not make claims under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, he was not required to exhaust administrative remedies under that statute, The district court applied the wrong legal standard and that state regulations governing insulin administration are preempted by federal protections for students with disabilities, As applied to the state court settlement of a federal case brought by Intervenor American Diabetes Association, state law is preempted because it imposes an obstacle to compliance with the IDEA, Title II, or Section 504, The district court erred in reaching the Eleventh Amendment issue, and its ruling on that issue therefore should be vacated, In the alternative, if the court of appeals reaches the merits of the Eleventh Amendment issue, it should reverse the ruling of the district court and hold that the abrogation of Eleventh Amendment immunity is valid in the context of social services, The court of appeals certified to the Attorney General that the case involved a constitutional challenge to a federal statute, and the Division therefore intervened to address the Eleventh Amendment issue on appeal, All existing parking areas, curbs, and sidewalks are covered by Title II, Title II of the ADA's statutory language fully authorizes the regulation that states that a public entity is responsible for ensuring that its contractors comply with the ADA, The ADAs retaliation ban helps to enforce Title II, which itself is valid Fourteenth Amendment legislation that abrogates sovereign immunity, The retaliation ban also enforces the First Amendment rights of public employees, and so is valid Fourteenth Amendment legislation regardless of the validity of the underlying ADA rights, The ADAs bar on retaliation validly abrogates the States sovereign immunity, The Division also filed as an amicus curiae arguing that the Title II right of action extends to challenges based on the implementing regulations, The district courts decision was erroneous because (1) it contravenes the plain meaning and intent of the ADA and the EEOCs interpretive guidance; and (2) based on this record, the court should have found that the school district had a duty to provide the teacher with a reasonable accommodation, Institutionalization is not a prerequisite for establishing a violation of the integration mandate, Plaintiffs are at serious risk of being institutionalized, NYCQAL is not a party in the States appeal and cannot file a brief raising new arguments concerning the merits of the States appeal, NYCQAL has not satisfied the requirements for intervention and does not have standing as a non-party appellant, DAI and the United States have standing to pursue their claims, State defendants have violated the integration mandate, State defendants are not entitled to a fundamental alteration defense, District court did not abuse its discretion in denying the associations motions to intervene, Requirements in the regulations under Title II of the ADA are enforceable through the private right of action to enforce the statute, Regulation stating that entities are not required to provide personal devices and services to individuals with disabilities does not exempt entities from complying with the integration regulation when they choose to operate a program that does provide personal services and devices to individuals with disabilities, The panel or the full court should reconsider this holding, because the panel misconstrued, 28 C.F.R. 36.309(b)(1)(i)), rather than under the more lenient "reasonableness" standard found in other provisions of the ADA, The Tenth Circuit panel fundamentally misunderstood how the 1991 Standards apply to "spaces" in newly constructed buildings or facilities, The Tenth Circuit erred in rejecting plaintiffs' claim that defendants' use of its raised porches violates the text of the ADA regardless of whether the porches comply with the design standards, The store design violates Title III because the porch entrance is so integral to the customer experience that the defendants must make it accessible, notwithstanding that Title III's regulations do not always require every store entrance to be accessible, Plaintiffs have standing to sue even if they went to the store at least in part to be testers, The district court properly ordered the defendants to remedy the violation without balancing their costs against the benefits to the plaintiffs, The injunctive relief ordered in this case was proper and unremarkable as a remedy to a systematic civil rights violation, Provisions of New York law permitting individuals with disabilities to apply for absentee ballots or alternative polling places are not adequate substitutes for accessible primary polling places, Plaintiffs were not required to identify individuals actually unable to vote to succeed on their disability discrimination claims, After giving the Board of Elections repeated opportunities to comment on the plaintiffs' proposed remedies and submit an alternative of its own, the district court properly entered injunctive relief without waiting longer for the City to submit a plan, Leon's petition for review should be dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because he does not have the right to judicial review of the Disability Rights Section's discretionary decision under either the ADA or the Administrative Procedure Act, Under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Also not surprisingly, the Republicans efforts have fallen short. S.

HTKo@W[e%R[)N{ Steve Benen is a producer for "The Rachel Maddow Show," the editor of MaddowBlog and an MSNBC political contributor.

William H. Pryor Jr. - Chief Judge. DOJ asked the 11th U.S. Clerk's Office. 35.130(b)(7) or 28 C.F.R. Webno. The judges also said there is no evidence in the record before them that the roughly 100 documents at issue were declassified. The former president, the judges continued, "has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents." In a late-night filing with the 11th Circuit on Tuesday, federal prosecutors pushed back on Trump's efforts to raise questions about the materials' classification status, writing that the former president has "never actually represented much less offered evidence that he declassified any of the relevant records." &BZJ{ok!\xi5e j(llE#kKun+4/rpZp\?f,sJW}Zv*,2">H50iR_yC^QD+MPEWwKf=GRq}rMstZ8g1,L`!R|h?/!8zZw$,.i| S~5m!'-IKf|Q3J }`g-{8H(~ E A>'gg[wq;>31thV#x ] And now, its Meadows among several others whove been told its time to talk to federal prosecutors under oath.
