DEFENDANTS’ STIPULATION TO WITHDRAW

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiff, HENDRICK BLOCK 

(“Plaintiff”), and Defendants, FAT SLICE PIZZA, INC. and JENNAN K. FUENTES, Trustee 

of the JJFK TRUST u/d/t dated May 12, 1992 (“Defendants,” and together with Plaintiff, “the 

Parties”), by and through their respective counsel, as follows:

 1. Plaintiff filed this action alleging three causes of action, namely: a) violation of 

Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12181, et seq (“ADA”); b) 

violation of the California Unruh Civil Rights Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 51, et seq.; and c) violation 

of various California Health and Safety Code provisions.

 2. This Court had jurisdiction over this matter because of the federal ADA claim, 

and was exercising supplemental jurisdiction over Plaintiff’s two pendent state law claims.

 3. Defendants represent that they have permanently closed the business that is the 

subject of Plaintiff’s action since Plaintiff’s alleged visit, and based upon this representation, the 

Parties stipulate that Plaintiff’s ADA claim is now moot. 

 4. On November 13, 2019, Defendants filed a motion to dismiss this action on the 

grounds the ADA claim is moot, and further requested attorneys’ fees. (Dkts. 14 and 15.)

 5. Because Plaintiff’s ADA claim is moot, and Defendants represent that the 

subject business will never again reopen, the Parties stipulate to the dismissal of Plaintiff’s 

first claim arising under the ADA with prejudice.

 6. The Parties stipulate that Plaintiff’s second and third claims (the two 

remaining California claims) be dismissed without prejudice to preserve Plaintiff’s right to 

re-file those claims in state court.

 7. Defendants withdraw the pending motions to dismiss and for attorneys’ fees. 

(Dkts. 14 and 15.)

 8. With regards to Plaintiff’s ADA claim, each party is to bear its own attorneys’ 

fees and costs.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
