Case Summary

A self-described ADA tester sued a hotel for failing to provide accessibility information on its reservation website, although she did not intend to book a room. After certiorari was granted, Laufer voluntarily dismissed her pending cases, making the dispute moot. The Supreme Court declined to decide the broader tester-standing question. It vacated the First Circuit’s judgment under the circumstances and remanded with instructions to dismiss the case as moot, preventing an unreviewable appellate standing decision from retaining precedential effect.
