Plaintiffs,

CASE NO. C17-0939-JCC
ORDER

v.

12

SEATTLE THEATRE GROUP et al.,

13

Defendants.

15

This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ joint motion to amend the judgment

16

(Dkt. No. 55). Having thoroughly considered the motion and the relevant record, the Court finds

17

oral argument unnecessary and hereby GRANTS the motion for the reasons explained herein.

18

The Court previously entered judgment following Plaintiffs’ acceptance of Defendants’

19

second offer of judgment made pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68. (See Dkt. Nos.

20

37, 39.) The prior judgment specified modifications that Defendant Seattle Theater Group was

21

required to make to The Paramount Theatre and The Moore Theatre. (See Dkt. No. 39.) While

22

implementing the modifications required by the prior judgment, Defendant Seattle Theater

23

Group determined that some of the modifications could not be completed in accordance with the

24

2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design or were not feasible. (See Dkt. No. 55 at 1.) Plaintiff

25

Rhonda Brown initiated a second lawsuit to enforce the prior judgment against Defendants. See

26

Brown v. Moore Hotel et al, Case No. C19-1459-RAJ-MAT, Dkt. No. 1 (W.D. Wash. 2019).

Court hereby GRANTS the parties’ motion to amend the judgment (Dkt. No. 55). The remainder

4

of the terms in the prior judgment (Dkt. No. 39) are unchanged.
