Overruled in part
A reviewed court has overruled part of this case’s holding. Jones v. City of Monroe's rule requiring disability to be the sole cause of discrimination under ADA Title II is no longer good law. Anderson v. City of Blue Ash held that a plaintiff need not show disability was the sole cause.
More on how this was screened

That ruling did not decide Jones's separate parking analysis or its preliminary injunction rule. All 70 flagged citations have been read; the confirmed treatment is listed below.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

70 later cases cite Jones v. City of Monroe; 70 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

Overruled in part

  • The Sixth Circuit held that Jones's requirement of discrimination solely because of disability no longer governs ADA Title II claims.

    Anderson v. City of Blue Ash · Sixth Circuit · filed

    Our test for intentional discrimination under Title II of the ADA previously required that the discrimination be “solely” because of the plaintiff’s disability, Tucker, 539 F.3d at 535 (emphasis original); see also Dillery v. City of Sandusky, 398 F.3d 562, 567 (6th Cir. 2005), Jones v. City of Monroe, Mich., 341 F.3d 474, 477 (6th Cir. 2003), but our decision in Lewis v. Humboldt Acquisition Corp., 681 F.3d 312, 317 (6th Cir. 2012) (en banc), rejected this sole-causation requirement.
