It offers a step\u2011by\u2011step guide for disabled litigants to detect bad\u2011faith conduct, document evidence, and pursue remedies such as preservation orders, discovery, and judicial complaints.<\/div>\n<div class=\"aa-factbar\"><span class=\"aa-fact unverified\" title=\"The provided excerpts describe a judicial\u2011misconduct complaint alleging that Judge Furman failed to accommodate Alkiviades &quot;Alki&quot; David\u2019s traumatic brain injury, but they do not provide any evidence that attorneys or parties knowingly exploited his injury or disability.\">Attorneys and parties knowingly exploited Alkiviades &quot;Alki&quot; David&#8217;s t\u2026 \u2014 unverified<\/span><span class=\"aa-fact unverified\" title=\"The evidence supplied discusses how to access court records via PACER, types of records available on courtcasefinder.com, and a news article about Bill Gates, but it does not mention any contamination of courthouse records or untested accusations.

The Problem: Disability\u2011Based Bad\u2011Faith in Litigation<\/h2>\n<p>Disability is a protected characteristic under the <strong>Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/strong> and the <strong>Rehabilitation Act of 1973<\/strong>. Yet, in practice, disabled litigants\u2014especially those representing themselves\u2014often find themselves targeted by attorneys who exploit their vulnerabilities. The notice filed by Alkiviades \u201cAlki\u201d David in the Southern District of New\u202fYork (SDNY) is a stark illustration of how a pro\u2011se litigant\u2019s traumatic brain injury (TBI) can become a weapon in a multi\u2011jurisdictional dispute.<\/p>\n<p>David\u2019s escalation notice alleges that opposing counsel and parties \u201cknowingly exploited\u201d his disability, engaged in \u201cbad\u2011faith litigation tactics,\u201d and contaminated the court record with untested accusations. While the notice is a formal complaint, the claims it makes\u2014such as the intentional exploitation of a TBI\u2014have not yet been verified by any court decision or evidence. Nevertheless, the pattern of alleged conduct is consistent with a broader trend of disability\u2011based discrimination in litigation.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Common Bad\u2011Faith Tactics Targeting Disabled Litigants<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Disability\u2011Based Harassment<\/strong>: Attorneys may use a litigant\u2019s disability as a pretext for intimidation or to undermine credibility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Procedural Ambush<\/strong>: Filing motions or requests at the last minute to overwhelm a disabled litigant\u2019s ability to respond.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coordinated Pressure<\/strong>: Multiple parties acting in concert to delay, dismiss, or otherwise impede the disabled litigant\u2019s case.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Funding Concealment<\/strong>: Hiding litigation\u2011finance arrangements that could influence the conduct of counsel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Witness Intimidation or Suppression<\/strong>: Targeting witnesses who might testify in favor of the disabled litigant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evidentiary Obstruction<\/strong>: Failing to preserve or produce documents that could support the disabled litigant\u2019s claims.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Abuse of Process<\/strong>: Using procedural tools (e.g., discovery requests, motions to compel) to harass rather than to resolve substantive issues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>3. Case Examples<\/h2>\n<h3>3.1 Alkiviades \u201cAlki\u201d David\u2019s Escalation Notice<\/h3>\n<p>David\u2019s notice is a protest document, not a court decision, but it brings to light a pattern of alleged misconduct. He names specific firms\u2014Boies\u202fSchiller\u202fFlexner LLP, Scott\u202fC.\u202fNielson, and others\u2014claiming that they have \u201cknowingly abused\u201d his disability. While the claim that attorneys exploited his TBI is <em>unverified<\/em> (see fact\u2011check), the notice itself is a useful tool for documenting alleged misconduct and can serve as the basis for a formal complaint under 28\u202fU.S.C.\u202f\u00a7\u202f2075.<\/p>\n<h3>3.2 Daniel\u202fLonergan v. Gallagher\u202fSharp, LLP<\/h3>\n<p>In a 2026 Sixth Circuit decision, a pro\u2011se attorney with ADHD failed to establish the necessary facts to prove ADA bias. The court held that the plaintiff did not meet the initial criteria for a bias claim because he omitted details of the reasonable accommodations he had requested. The case illustrates the importance of <strong>providing concrete accommodation requests and documenting the denial<\/strong>\u2014a key element for proving discrimination under the ADA.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bloomberglaw.com\/daily-labor-report\/lawyer-with-adhd-comes-up-short-in-6th-cir-disability-bias-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bloomberg Law coverage<\/a> (image below) shows a courtroom scene, underscoring the visual reality of these disputes.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bwrite-static.bloombergindustry.com\/dims4\/default\/96433a8\/2147483647\/crop\/7360x2837+0+251\/resize\/960x370%3E\/quality\/90\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbloomberg-bna-brightspot.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2F36%2F10%2F94359a514a66bb6df6be80c96fcf%2Fgettyimages-698689964.jpg\" alt=\"Courtroom image\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>Bloomberg Law courtroom image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>4. The Legal Framework for Disability\u2011Based Claims<\/h2>\n<p>Under <strong>Title\u202fII of the ADA<\/strong>, all state and local government entities\u2014including courts\u2014must provide reasonable accommodations to disabled individuals. The 2025 Second Circuit decision in <em>Tudor v. Whitehall Central School District<\/em> clarified that a \u201cqualified individual\u201d is entitled to an accommodation even if the accommodation is not the plaintiff\u2019s preferred one.<\/p>\n<p>Key statutory provisions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>42\u202fU.S.C.\u202f\u00a7\u202f12101 \u2013 Title\u202fII requirements.<\/li>\n<li>42\u202fU.S.C.\u202f\u00a7\u202f12102 \u2013 Reasonable accommodations.<\/li>\n<li>28\u202fU.S.C.\u202f\u00a7\u202f2075 \u2013 Judicial misconduct complaints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition, the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) obliges signatory states to ensure \u201ceffective participation\u201d in judicial processes.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Detecting and Documenting Bad\u2011Faith Tactics<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Keep a Detailed Log<\/strong>: Record every interaction\u2014emails, phone calls, in\u2011court statements\u2014along with dates, times, and any witnesses present.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Preserve Evidence<\/strong>: File preservation requests for all relevant documents (emails, billing records, discovery materials). Courts can issue <em>preservation orders<\/em> that prevent destruction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use the ADA Accommodation Request Form<\/strong>: Submit requests at least two weeks before proceedings. Courts must respond within a reasonable period.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Document Accommodation Denials<\/strong>: If a court denies an accommodation, obtain a written statement of the denial and any justification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Record Unreasonable Motions<\/strong>: Note any motions that seem designed to delay or intimidate, especially if they target the disabled litigant\u2019s ability to present evidence.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>6. Legal Remedies and Strategies<\/h2>\n<h3>6.1 Preservation and Discovery Orders<\/h3>\n<p>Under Rule\u202f26(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party may request that the court preserve all documents that might be relevant to the litigation. For disabled litigants, a preservation order can be coupled with a <em>discovery request for the opposing party\u2019s litigation\u2011finance disclosures<\/em>\u2014a tool to expose any hidden funding that could influence conduct.<\/p>\n<h3>6.2 Motion for Protective Order<\/h3>\n<p>If a litigant fears that discovery requests or subpoenas are harassing or discriminatory, a <em>protective order<\/em> can limit the scope of discovery. Courts must consider the litigant\u2019s disability when determining the burden of proof.<\/p>\n<h3>6.3 Judicial Misconduct Complaint<\/h3>\n<p>Under 28\u202fU.S.C.\u202f\u00a7\u202f2075, a litigant can file a complaint alleging that a judge has engaged in misconduct, including failure to accommodate. The complaint is investigated by the Judicial Council of the relevant circuit.<\/p>\n<h3>6.4 ADA Complaint to the Department of Justice<\/h3>\n<p>If the court fails to provide accommodations, the litigant can file a complaint with the DOJ\u2019s Civil Rights Division. The DOJ has the authority to investigate and enforce ADA compliance.<\/p>\n<h3>6.5 Strategic Use of the CRPD<\/h3>\n<p>While the U.S. is not a party to the CRPD, the Convention\u2019s principles can be invoked in legal arguments to emphasize the constitutional right to equal access and non\u2011discrimination.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Practical Tips for Pro\u2011Se Disabled Litigants<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Request accommodations in writing and keep copies of all correspondence.<\/li>\n<li>Use a trusted advocate or attorney to help draft and file motions.<\/li>\n<li>Leverage technology\u2014video\u2011conferencing, screen readers, and captioning\u2014to participate in remote hearings.<\/li>\n<li>Ask the court for a <em>reasonable accommodation<\/em> before the case begins; courts are required to respond within a reasonable time.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a journal of any incidents that feel discriminatory or harassing; this can serve as evidence if a complaint is filed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>8. Conclusion: Strengthening Due Process for Disabled Litigants<\/h2>\n<p>Disability\u2011based discrimination in litigation is a growing concern. The escalation notice filed by Alkiviades \u201cAlki\u201d David and the Daniel\u202fLonergan case illustrate both the potential for abuse and the legal avenues available to counter it. By understanding the common bad\u2011faith tactics, documenting evidence meticulously, and leveraging the ADA, judicial misconduct statutes, and discovery rules, disabled litigants can protect themselves and help ensure that the courts remain fair and accessible for all.<\/p>\n<section class=\"aa-conclusion\">\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Disability discrimination in litigation is a real and persistent threat. By combining rigorous documentation, strategic use of preservation and discovery, and the robust legal framework of the ADA and federal court rules, disabled litigants can expose bad\u2011faith tactics, protect their rights, and hold attorneys and courts accountable. The fight for equitable access to justice is ongoing, but with the right tools and knowledge, pro\u2011se litigants can turn the tide in their favor.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<ul class=\"aa-keywords\">\n<li>disability discrimination<\/li>\n<li>bad\u2011faith litigation<\/li>\n<li>ADA Title\u202fII<\/li>\n<li>court accommodations<\/li>\n<li>pro\u2011se litigants<\/li>\n<li>legal remedies<\/li>\n<li>record contamination<\/li>\n<li>judicial misconduct<\/li>\n<li>disability rights<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<section class=\"aa-sources\">\n<h2>Sources &amp; further reading<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/crt\/appellate-section-americans-disabilities-act-and-section-504-rehabilitation-act\">Appellate Section &#8211; Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of &#8230;<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/2026\/06\/05\/disability-accommodations-in-civil-litigation-rights-obligations-and-pro-se-pitfalls\/\">Disability Accommodations in Civil Litigation: Rights, Obligations, and &#8230;<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyjournal.com\/articles\/371243-the-ninth-circuit-recently-undercut-defenses-against-ada-serial-plaintiffs\">The Ninth Circuit recently undercut defenses against ADA &quot;serial &#8230;<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tchino.substack.com\/p\/ada-bells-can-not-be-unrung\">ADA BELLS CAN NOT BE unRUNG &#8211; Theo Chino<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ca9.uscourts.gov\/about\/disability\/\">Federal Disability Law and the Federal Judiciary | United States Court &#8230;<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/crt\/appellate-section-americans-disabilities-act-and-section-504-rehabilitation-act\">Civil Rights Division | Appellate Section &#8211; Americans with Disabilities &#8230;<\/a> <small>(search)<\/small><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/law.justia.com\/cases\/federal\/appellate-courts\/ca6\/25-3808\/25-3808-2026-05-29.html\">Daniel Lonergan v.
