SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 25 – Sancy Graciano is legally blind. He has sued RoomsToGo.com for running an inaccessible website.

    On January 25, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Analisa Torres held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.  

These cases have become somewhat routinized.

RoomsToGo says its site is WCAG 2.0 compliant due to a previous settlement agreement involving essentially the same claims.

Here, there is now another conference on May 27.

The case is Graciano v. Roomstogo.com, Inc., 20-cv-7811 (Torres)
