Patterson v. Six Flags Theme Parks, Inc. — 9th Cir. (Jul 8, 2026)
The Ninth Circuit considers whether a federal judge went too far in monitoring Six Flags' compliance with an injunction protecting a deaf patron. After a bench trial, the judge found that Six Flags had violated federal and California disability-access laws. The appeal concerns three monitoring provisions: quarterly reports, three years of court oversight, and access to specified records. After this argument, the Ninth Circuit upheld those provisions in an unpublished memorandum.
