> We have the recently rescheduled court hearing date in the Uber case.  On
> Tuesday, March 3, 2015, Plaintiffs will be appearing before the court in
> our suit against Uber to argue against Uber's motion to dismiss.  Uber
> boldly contends that all disputes must be resolved through arbitration out
> of court on an individual basis and that Uber is not subject to the ADA.
> We intend to forcefully argue against Uber's points before the judge with
> the support of the U.S. Department of Justice, which recently filed a
> statement in our favor.
>
>
>
> We invite dog users from the community to attend the hearing and support
> our efforts.  Uber needs to understand the solidarity of the community
> around this important issue.  All are welcome to watch what is likely to
> be a vigorous argument.  Please note that many dogs may be in close
> proximity.
> Preferred courtroom dress is business casual for nonparties and business
> suits for parties.  Service animals should be recently groomed.  After the
> hearing We are likely to gather for a social event in the Civic Center
> area.
> Please R.S.V.P. to telder at trelegal.com <mailto:telder at trelegal.com>  or
