[tracy.soforenko at gmail.com]

If you cannot attend the October 18 Oral Argument for Orozco v. Merrick in
Washington, DC, you can catch it on the web.


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 members of the
public seeking to access federal electronic information technology as well
as other disabled federal employees using technology at work. Please contact
Valerie Yingling at 410-659-9314, extension 2440, or  <mailto:legal at nfb.org>
legal at nfb.org for more information about attending in person. For those who
cannot attend in person, we encourage you to listen to the oral argument
live via the court's YouTube channel:
