Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-3(d) and 7-11, Defendant Target Corporation moves for leave to file the Statement of Recent Decision attached as Exhibit A. On September 18, 2007, the California Court of Appeals issued a ruling, Urhausen v. Longs Drug Stores California, Inc., No. A113937, --- Cal. Rptr. 3d ---, 2007 WL 2702927 (Cal. Ct. App. Sept. 18, 2007), regarding the Disabled Persons Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 54 et seq. The ruling is relevant to two motions pending in the instant litigation: Plaintiffs' motion for class certification and Defendant's motion for summary judgment. Because the hearing regarding these motions has already occurred, Civil Local Rule 7-3(d) does not authorize the filing of a statement of recent decision absent leave of Court. Target respectfully urges the Court to grant it leave to file the attached Statement of Recent Decision because consideration of the Urhausen ruling will assist the Court in ruling on the class certification and summary judgment motions. The Urhausen ruling sheds light on pertinent issues of California law, including the injury and standing requirements under the Disabled Persons Act and what it means to be "denied full and equal access" under that statute.
