October 18 Oral Argument for Orozco v. Merrick in Washington, DC

We invite and encourage NFB members to attend the in-person oral argument for the NFB-supported case Orozco v. Merrick on October 18 in Washington, DC. NFB member Joe Orozco is appealing a federal district court decision finding that blind federal employees do not have a private right of action to directly enforce Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act against their federal employers. The impact of the decision could extend to both members of the public seeking to access federal electronic information technology as well as disabled federal employees using technology at work.

When: October 18, 2022, at 9:00 A.M. Attendees should plan to stay until noon because we do not know the order in which cases will be called. Oral arguments are open to the public, but seating is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis. Doors of the courtroom usually open around 9:10 a.m. The first argument begins at 9:30 a.m. Visitors should be aware that certain cases may attract large crowds, with lines forming before the courtroom doors open.

Where: United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia at 333 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20001. The courthouse is located one block northwest of the U.S. Capitol. The building faces Constitution Avenue where Constitution and Pennsylvania Avenues merge. The 3rd Street Entrance is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is ADA-accessible. The John Marshall Park Entrance is open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The most convenient Metro subway stations are Judiciary Square (Red Line) and Archives-Navy Memorial (Yellow and Green Lines).
