UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

DONALD PETERSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

D.0.S. PIZZA, INC., a California 

corporation; VISTA FWY 78 

INVESTORS, a California general 

partnership; and DOES 1-10, inclusive, 

Defendant. 

Case No.: 3:17-cv-00801-BEN-KSC 

ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION 

TO FILE FIRST AMENDED 

COMPLAINT, DISMISS DONALD 

PETERSON, AND ADD NEW 

PLAINTIFFS 

The parties have filed a "Stipulation to File First Amended Complaint; Dismiss 

Donald Peterson and Add Plaintiffs James Rutherford and the Association 4 Equal 

Access." (ECF No. 9). The motion is made on the grounds that Plaintiff Donald 

Peterson passed away in June 2017. 

Peterson's complaint seeks injunctive relief for violations of the ADA. It also 

alleges state law claims. Normally, the death of a plaintiff renders a claim for injunctive 

relief moot. Kennerly v. United States, 721F.2d1252, 1260 (9th Cir. 1983). In such 

circumstances, courts in this District have denied motions to substitute a new plaintiff 

because the original plaintiffs death extinguished the ADA claim. See Baria v. Yu, No. 

08-cv-0908-BEN, 2010 WL 2653322, at *1 (S.D. Cal. July 1, 2010).
