private litigation pending in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida, David New v. Lucky Brand Jeans.  In that
case, plaintiff has alleged an ADA violation based on Lucky Brand Jeans'
use of touch-screen point-of-sale devices that do not allow individuals
who are blind to independently enter their private personal
identification number when making an in-store purchase using a debit
card.  Among other things, the Department's Statement of Interest
addresses the proper framework for evaluating the title III ADA claim at
issue in this case.
