Target loses an appeal of the class action status of the Lawsuit brought by the National Federation of the Blind. Target had appealed the class-action status of the suit to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The petition was denied and the lawsuit will proceed “on behalf of all Americans.”
This seems to be some of the last challenges to the suite that Target has brought. The actual case has yet to begin, as Target has challenged many of the aspects of the case, the class-action status being the latest. It should be interesting to see when a court date is set, or if this will even get to court.
ON a related note, the NFB and Amazon.com announced that Amazon.com will be accessible to blind users by June 30, 2008.

It is not discrimination that Target does not bend to your needs. You are blind, it is your responsibility to obtain the technology to go on the web. Use your eye dog, he will find someone to help you. Why did you get the dog? Sue the city because you can’t walk without getting hit by a car. Get the picture now?
