Case Brief Summary & Legal Analysis
tl;dr: A federal court held that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to a commercial website and app. It rejected arguments that the lack of specific agency regulations violated due process or justified deferring to the agency under the primary jurisdiction doctrine, allowing the accessibility lawsuit to proceed.
Legal Significance: The absence of specific agency regulations does not negate a statutory duty under the ADA, nor does it justify judicial deference to an agency under the primary jurisdiction doctrine, especially when the agency has shown no immediate intent to act.

Case Facts & Court Holding
Key Facts & Case Background
Plaintiff Guillermo Robles, a blind individual, sued Domino’s Pizza, alleging its website and mobile application were inaccessible with his screen-reading software, thereby violating Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Domino’s website and app allow customers to order products and access discounts. Domino’s argued that the ADA did not apply to its online platforms. Alternatively, it contended that imposing liability would violate its due process rights because the Department of Justice (DOJ), the agency charged with implementing the ADA, had not issued specific technical standards for website accessibility. Domino’s urged the court to invoke the primary jurisdiction doctrine, which permits a court to dismiss a case pending resolution of an issue by a competent administrative agency. The district court found the ADA applied but agreed with Domino’s due process and primary jurisdiction arguments. It dismissed the case without prejudice, reasoning that it should wait for the DOJ to provide specific guidance, despite the DOJ having withdrawn its Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on the subject.
