Gene E.K. Pratter to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. We are
deeply troubled by certain rulings by Judge Pratter that demonstrate
a dismissive attitude toward the rights of people with disabilities.
In light of Judge Pratter's controversial record, her nomination
should not be acted upon in an election year.

federal judge in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania since she was
confirmed in 2004, after being nominated by President George W.
Bush. During her several years on the bench, Judge Pratter has
authored decisions that are of grave concern to disability rights
advocates.

> In Phillips v. Sheraton Society Hill,[1] Judge Pratter dismissed
an ADA employment discrimination case brought by a man with a back
injury. Judge Pratter failed to apply the federal courts' customary
solicitude for the rights of litigants who are not represented by
counsel, and dismissed the case on her own motion because the man's
complaint did not indicate whether he had exhausted his
administrative remedies (that is, whether he had first given the
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission a chance to investigate his
claim). Judge Pratter dismissed the case without permitting
Phillips, who was unrepresented, to amend his complaint to
demonstrate that he had filed a complaint with the EEOC and received
a "right to sue" letter.
>
> The Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed, holding that
dismissal was inappropriate: "We are troubled by the fact that
Phillips was given no opportunity to amend the Complaint before the
District Court sua sponte dismissed it. Phillips' failure as a pro
se litigant to allege exhaustion does not warrant dismissal of this
action with prejudice….We cannot assume from [his] pro se complaint
that no right-to-sue letter exists or that he failed to exhaust his
administrative remedies merely because he failed to attach a right-to-
sue letter." The appeals court also noted that Phillips had filed a
form complaint that did not require him to affirmatively state that
he had exhausted administrative remedies. Judge Pratter's harsh
ruling suggests an indifference to the financial realities faced by
many people with disabilities, who may not be able to afford
representation in order to challenge disability discrimination, but
who may not be familiar with the procedural
> requirements of federal court litigation.
>
> In Disabled in Action v. Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation
Authority,[2] Judge Pratter dismissed a disability rights group's
claims seeking to require the Philadelphia area transit authority to
comply with the ADA by making two major subway stations accessible to
people with disabilities. These stations were required to be
accessible because they had undergone substantial renovations. Judge
Pratter held that the plaintiff's ADA claims were barred because they
were filed too late. She held that the statute of limitations began
running from the time that the plaintiff and its lawyer knew that the
transit authority did not plan to make the stations accessible,
rather than from the time that the renovations were completed without
making the stations accessible. Judge Pratter's ruling ignores the
plain language of the ADA, which provides that discrimination occurs
when a public transportation facility is not made accessible "upon
completion" of renovations. As a
> result of this ruling, individuals who use wheelchairs and other
individuals with mobility impairments are unable to use these
stations, which are major connection points in the local
transportation system. The U.S. Justice Department has filed an
amicus brief supporting the plaintiff on its appeal to the Third
Circuit, explaining that Judge Pratter's ruling is wrong and
conflicts with the clear language of the ADA.
>
> We are extremely concerned about the prospect of elevating a
federal judge who seems to have a disparaging attitude toward
important rights of individuals with disabilities. Both of these
rulings demonstrate a willingness to dismiss claims to enforce
critical rights of individuals with disabilities based on procedural
concerns that are simply not warranted.
>
> Moreover, we believe that none of the pending controversial
judicial nominations, including Judge Pratter's, should be acted upon
at this stage. The Senate should follow its longstanding policy that
nominations are not processed in a presidential election year unless
they are uncontroversial. Federal courts have inappropriately rolled
back many important rights of people with disabilities, and the
nomination of controversial nominees who are hostile to civil rights
must come to an end. Accordingly, the nominations of Judge Pratter
and all other controversial nominees should not be acted upon.
