DEFAULT JUDGMENT

JESUS MATA, et al., Re: Dkt. No. 11 Defendants.

Castillo-Antonio filed this suit against the grocery store El Pueblo Panaderia #1 and its owners for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), California disability and civil rights laws, and the California Unruh Act. As alleged in the complaint, Castillo-Antonio is handicapped and must use a walker, and was prevented from fully accessing the grocery store because of three architectural barriers: (1) a partially blocked main entrance; (2) a service counter that does not comply with the statutory width and height requirements; and (3) aisles that do not comply with the statutory width requirements. Castillo-Antonio moved for default judgment on the ADA and Unruh Act claims, seeking injunctive relief, attorney’s costs and fees, and statutory damages under the Unruh Act. The motion for default judgment on the ADA and Unruh Act claims is largely granted, for the reasons given in the motion.…
