US Federal Judge Debra Brown of the Northern District of Mississippi has denied Ole Miss’s motion to dismiss, which sought to dismiss our client’s lawsuit against the university for failing to provide captions for its deaf students. In particular, our client Joshua Sisco repeatedly asked that the university add captions to its social media videos promoting the football team, but Ole Miss refused. Chief Judge Brown held that our client states a valid claim for relief under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, so the case will move forward. You can read the judge’s ruling here.
