wheelchair for mobility. Plaintiff alleges that defendants are 

the owners, operators and lessors of the building complex

comprising the subject Alta Bates Summit Medical Center,

located in Berkeley, California. (Hereafter “Campus”.) Located 

at 2001 Dwight Way in central Berkeley, the facility has both

2. Plaintiff MICHAI FREEMAN filed this action for

herself and all other similarly situated members of the public 

to enforce provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 

1990 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq., and corresponding

California law, including enforcement of Title 24 of the

California Code of Regulations, against defendants ALTA BATES

SUMMIT MEDICAL CENTER; and ALTA BATES SUMMIT FOUNDATION, et al. 

(“Defendants”). 

3. Plaintiff alleges that defendants violated these 

statutes by failing to provide full and equal access and

related facilities, including accessible entrances, accessible

paths of travel, accessible public restrooms, accessible

routes, including from the public right of way, accessible

snack bar and gift shop facilities, accessible disabled

parking, and accessible service counter facilities.1/ Specific 

identification of the facilities and their deficiencies has

been identified by the parties through a meeting of experts and 

exchange of reports.

4. Plaintiff alleges that defendants are also the

lessors of the interior tenant space (housed within the

building complex) occupied by former defendants LIFELONG

MEDICAL CARE d.b.a. BERKELEY PRIMARY CARE, where plaintiff

receives her medical care.

5. Plaintiff alleges that the complex has undergone

 

1

Plaintiff has already settled all issues with Berkeley Primary Care and Lifelong Clinic, including her 

claims for injunctive relief and damages, i.e., concerning the facilities within the interior of the clinic. 

Upon settlement with Lifelong, the only injunctive relief issues that remain are the issues outside the 

clinic. However, her damage claims concerning such interior facilities are still at issue with respect to 

the Alta Bates defendants.

construction triggering the requirement of full compliance with 

compliance regulations in the altered areas, and that further 

defendants could easily afford to makes its facilities and

services accessible without significant difficulty or expense. 

6. For their part, Defendants do not deny that the

facility has undergone “alterations” and “new construction” in 

each of the areas embraced by the expert reports. However,

Defendants contend, inter alia, that the areas identified by

plaintiff as “barriers” are not barriers under the code, but

are exempted by regulation and/or were constructed within

“tolerances” provided by code.

7. Therefore, Defendants’ Answer to the Complaint denied 

all liability, and by entering into this Consent Order,

defendants do not admit liability to the allegations in

Plaintiff’s Complaint filed in this action. The parties hereby 

enter into this Full Consent Decree and Order for the sole

purpose of resolving this lawsuit without the need for

protracted litigation.

the plaintiff’s continued exposure and use of the clinic for
