Executive Summary
Plaintiffs James C. McNeil and Meaghan Poyer, proceeding pro se, filed this supplemental motion seeking ADA accommodations under Title II based on McNeil’s asserted severe PTSD-related limitations, including impaired sleep, concentration, safe driving, and ability to meet in-person court requirements.
They request access to electronic filing for the joint plaintiffs, or alternatively that emailed PDF filings be deemed filed upon receipt and docketed by the clerk. They also seek authorization to attend non-evidentiary status conferences and motion hearings remotely by Zoom or similar platform with 24 hours’ notice. The motion asserts that mandatory physical filing imposes unequal barriers on disabled pro se litigants and that defendants’ alleged mischaracterization of McNeil’s conduct has exacerbated his condition.
Legal Significance
Plaintiffs seek Title II ADA accommodations to overcome alleged PTSD-related barriers to physically filing documents and appearing in court. The motion asks the court to authorize pro se electronic filing, or alternatively deem emailed PDFs filed upon clerk receipt and require prompt docketing confirmation, while permitting remote attendance at non-evidentiary hearings on 24 hours’ notice.
It places at issue whether McNeil’s asserted severe PTSD and inability to safely drive or manage in-person obligations require modifications to the court’s standard procedures, and whether those modifications may extend to filings jointly made with Poyer. The filing preserves Plaintiffs’ ability to seek relief from filing and appearance requirements without changing substantive deadlines, scheduled depositions, or the merits of pending motions.
