Secured Summary Judgment and a full dismissal for our client, a national hardware store chain, in an ADA disability access lawsuit brought in the Central District of California before Judge Cormac J. Carney. The Motion for Summary Judgment was granted on the grounds that Plaintiff lacked standing to sue because the conditions complained of complied with all applicable federal regulations for disability access. This victory came after months of back-and-forth with a Plaintiff’s counsel that consistently shifted the grounds on which the lawsuit was brought, and was granted over the Plaintiff’s request to amend the complaint to raise new allegations.
Obtained summary judgment on behalf of contract manufacturers and retailers of personal care products in a Proposition 65 lawsuit, on the grounds that the Certificate of Merit was defective due to the product being tested, purchased and sold outside the state of California where Prop. 65 does not apply.
