Parties Took Nearly 8 Months to Finalize Settlement Over Inaccessible Website

Plaintiff Ramon Fontanez voluntarily dismissed with prejudice his Americans With Disabilities Act claims against American International Industries for running a website that’s inaccessible to blind and visually impaired people, said his attorney’s notice Tuesday (docket 1:22-cv-05583) in U.S. District Court for Southern New York in Manhattan. It took nearly eight months for the parties to finalize a settlement agreement they announced in early December (see 2212070020).
