Orna Shaposhnik v. Quality Loan Service Corp., et al.

Whether a state court violates Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. § 12132), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. § 794), and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment when it denies or nullifies medically supported, time-limited disability accommodation requests and then proceeds to adjudicate dispositive motions and issue orders affecting property and jurisdiction while the disabled litigant lacks a meaningful ability to understand, respond, or participate in the proceedings. In February 2026, the court’s ADA coordination process communicated that Petitioner’s accommodation request was denied on the ground that it would “prejudice the parties”—a rationale not authorized under Title II of the ADA or governing access-to-court standards, which permit denial only upon a showing of fundamental alteration or undue burden. This case further presents the question whether a state court acts without constitutional authority to adjudicate at all when Title II access-to-court obligations remain unresolved at the time dispositive power is exercised.

Whether a state court violates the Supremacy Clause when, after federal disability­ access rights under Title II of the ADA have been properly invoked, it applies state procedural doctrines in a manner that effectively displaces federally required access standards.
