Celeste M. Gonsalves v. Stuart B. Glauberman, by His Managing Agent, KFG Properties, Inc.
IFP petition · Intermediate Court of Appeals of Hawaii, No. CAAP-23-0000341 · judgment June 16, 2025
Question presented
Whether a state court violates Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fourteenth Amendment by denying a medically supported request for a continuance as a reasonable modification necessary for a disabled litigant to participate in court proceedings, where the record contains a doctor’s letter stating incapacity covering the hearing date yet the court proceeds in the litigant’s absence, and where the state appellate court has issued inconsistent rulings on materially indistinguishable facts and the state supreme court denied review despite the preserved federal question?
