On March 21, 2017, this suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiff, a California resident who suffered from arthritis, alleged that a store in Los Angeles violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California state law. Specifically, she claimed that the store's parking lot and transaction counter were not accessible for individuals with physical disabilities. The plaintiff, represented by the Center for Disability Access, sought injunctive relief, actual damages, and attorneys' fees.

The store filed an application on May 4, 2017, to stay proceedings pending early mediation. The order was granted by Judge Otis D. Wright II on the same day.

A mediation report was submitted on July 17, 2017, stating that mediation had not occurred because the parties reached a settlement. (We were unable to obtain a copy of the settlement, so the contents are unknown.) A joint stipulation for dismissal was filed on August 16, 2017. The case is now closed.
