Robles<\/i>, a case that would have required the Supreme Court to determine the application of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to websites and mobile applications. The Supreme Court\u2019s order means a Ninth Circuit decision applying Title III to websites and mobile apps will stand, even in the absence of Department of Justice-promulgated regulations outlining applicable compliance standards.<\/p>\n<p>On September 1, 2016, Guillermo Robles, who is visually impaired, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. He alleged that Domino\u2019s website and mobile app were incompatible with his chosen screen-reading software, and thus violated Title III of the ADA, among other statutes. Domino\u2019s moved for summary judgment, in part on the basis that Title III of the ADA does not extend to its website or mobile app. The District Court found that Title III did apply to Domino\u2019s website and app, but granted summary judgment on the grounds that imposing liability on Domino\u2019s without clear standards for satisfying Title III obligations would violate the company\u2019s due process rights. Robles then appealed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.duanemorris.com\/alerts\/supreme_court_passes_challenge_extension_titleIII_websites_mobile_apps_1019.html\">View the full <em>Alert<\/em> on the Duane Morris LLP website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 7, 2019, the Supreme Court of the United States issued an order denying certiorari in\u00a0Domino\u2019s Pizza, LLC v.
