Greetings, as most know, we were victorious in getting the Supreme Court to 
deny the National Conference of Bar Examiner's Petition for a Writ of 
Certiorari on October 4th.  This kept in place the 9th Circuit's decision 
issued on January 4th of this year that an entity such as NCBE must offer 
the accommodations to a test taker with a disability that best ensure that 
the exam measures the individual's apptitudes and abilities rather than 
their disability.  In Stephanie's case, this meant that NCBE was ordered to 
provide the Multistate Bar Exam and Multistate Professional Responsibility 
Exam on a computer with assistive technology.  This portion of the 
litigation tied back to U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer's original 
grant of a preliminary injunction ordering the accommodations.

After the 9th Circuit victory, we moved for summary judgment  on Stephanie's 
claims and asked the Court to issue a permanent injuction ordering the 
accommodations.  I am very pleased to say that  today, Judge Breyer granted 
summary judgment in our favor.  Attached you will find an accessible pdf of 
the decision.  Through this whole time, Stephanie has been represented by 
myself, Brown, Goldstein, and Levy of Baltimore, and Disability Rights 
Advocates of Berkley.
Best,
Scott C. LaBarre, Esq.
