IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SHARON LETCHER,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CITY & COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, ET

AL,

Defendant. /

No. C-05-03772 JSW (EDL)

ORDER RE SITE INSPECTION

Pursuant to this Court’s Order, Plaintiff filed a revised declaration identifying the areas at the

Davies Symphony Hall of which she is personally aware or which she has personally encountered

which may deny her access. See Docket No. 43-1 (August 11, 2006 Decl.). Although the Court

notes that Plaintiff’s revised declaration attributes to personal observations what she previously

attributed to the views of others, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, the Court will not 

presume that the revised declaration is untruthful given that Plaintiff had the opportunity to observe

all the areas in her visits prior to using a wheelchair. The Court also notes that under Pickern v.

Holiday Quality Foods Inc., 293 F.3d 1133, 1138 (9th Cir. 2002), Plaintiff need not have personally

encountered the areas which may deny her access in the future in order to seek an injunction to

redress violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
