The Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness sued the Cable News Network, CNN, in federal court under California’s Disabled Persons Act [DPA; Civil Code section 54 et seq.] because the network does not caption all of the videos on its news web sites. After plowing through several constitutional issues and procedural matters, the Ninth Circuit requested the California Supreme Court answer the question whether the DPA applies to non-physical places like CNN.com, which is a virtual location on the Internet. (Greater Los Angeles Agency on Deafness, Inc. v. Cable News Network, Inc. (Ninth Cir.; February 5, 2014) (Corrected February 10, 2014) (Case No. 12-15807).) (Req. Granted by Cal. Sup. Ct.; March 26, 2014) (Case No. S216351).)
