2. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF CASE/FACTS 

 Plaintiff’s Position:

This is an action brought by Plaintiff for discrimination based upon the defendants’ alleged 

failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), 42 U.S.C. §12101, et 

seq., the Unruh Civil Rights Act, Cal. Civ. Code §§51 and 51.5, California Health & Safety Code 

§19955, et seq., and the California Disabled Persons Act, Cal. Civ. Code §§54, 54.1 and 54.3, all of 

which relate to the denial of access to a place of public accommodation. 

Plaintiff IRMA RAMIREZ and claimant Daren Heatherly each is a person with physical 

disabilities who, on or about June 26, 2014 and February 3, 2015 and (“deterred thereafter”), was 

an invitee, guest, patron, customer at defendants’ YUCATASIA, in the City of San Francisco, 

California. At said times and place, plaintiff alleges defendants failed to provide proper legal access 

to the restaurant, which is a “public accommodation” and/or a “public facility” including, but not 

limited to entrance, dining, accessible route and unisex restroom. Plaintiff IRMA RAMIREZ alleges 

that the denial of access was in violation of both federal and California legal requirements, and 

plaintiff IRMA RAMIREZ and claimant Daren Heatherly each suffered violation of his/her civil 

rights to full and equal access, and was embarrassed and humiliated.
