City of New York v. Green

Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on October 4, 2010.

Docket No.09-1426
Op. Below2d Circuit

Issue

(1) Whether Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12131 et seq., applies — or applies with the same level of disability accommodation as would normally be applied — to emergency medical responders who, under exigent circumstances, make a medically reasonable decision to transport a disabled person to the hospital without evaluating the person’s refusal of medical assistance; and (2) whether an “exigent circumstances”? exception to the ADA, applicable in nonhospital emergency medical settings, would expose disabled patients to a significant risk of unwanted and paternalistic medical intervention.
