It may be that, the owner of the Jointed Cue does not own the property but merely has a leasehold interest.
If the owner had owned the property for the last 50 years and was prop. 13 on the taxes and with little debt, that would be one thing.
On the other hand, if he has been subject to escalating lease rates and also this savage expensive legal attack that called for large capital calls, he may not have the where with all to make the thing pencil.
I am really surprised that so many folks just want to throw a room owner to the dogs in California. Make no mistake we're running out of pool halls in the state.
Pool is on life support in California. The scumbag attorneys should go after the big corporations and leave the small proprietors alone.
But they just can't help themselves as they suffer from avarice, hubris and greed.
The metrics of the pool hall business at current lease rates in most California municipalities just don't work.

I'm not a lawyer, but does simply being handicapped mean you necessarily have standing? "You honor. I move to dismiss because the plaintiff has a long history of abusing the ADA law as shown in exhibit A. It appears the plaintiff is running his own ADA compliance racket without a business license."
A scam is a scam and there is nothing requiring the legal system to turn off its BS detector and follow the law to the letter. I'm sure there is a legal term for basically using common sense while the letter of the law says something else, but I don't recall what that is.
Big corporations fight back. Cowards like this aren’t looking for a fight.
Like most well intended laws in this country the ADA has become unrealistic.
Under the ADA anybody who wants to bring their dog, cat or any animal to the pool hall, dinner or on a plane can do so. Just tell the business owner you require the animal as a service animal. As a business owner you cannot even question what task the animal performs. As long as the animal is house broken and is not aggressive, the business must permit it.

Exactly...the scumbag is taking the easy way.
Never mind the fat ones, just go for the slow ones.
I know absolutely nothing about these types of laws, but was wondering if a place is a private club, if that means they can circumvent certain laws.
For example, in Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs, there are at least 3 pool halls I know of that allow smoking (even though the whole state is mostly smoking banned indoors if there are employees), by making the club private. They charge a small fee for membership (something like 1 to 20 dollars per year or per lifetime depending on the place). And everyone goes in there and smokes.

Jointed Cue closure
Sad to hear that bit of news, never been there but am not happy with pool room closures. I didn't know Terry but have one of his cues and had it validated with his son David. It's so ironic that we have so many pool players without what you would call national support for the game. Google old pool halls and see what fine establishments use to exist that had class and style. Hoping this gets resolved and the Jointed Cue reopens to better days, maybe this should be a national recognition factor and the community come together to find a way to fight for the pool world in the USA. Start a Go Fund account and get financial support, money talks you know.

That link seems to be broken.
He must have hit some agent's favorite place.
What chaos we have in America nowadays. It takes a tax collector to stop a serial zoning exploiter. Maybe there can be a movie made about this?
Jeff Livingston
Wasn't it Jimmy Hoffa that got brought down on wire fraud and tax evasion?
By any means necessary.. this guy needs to burn.
Al Capone.
That article is from 2016. This lawyer will get off Scott free and continue until he dies.
And marion Jones went to jail for bad check writing, not what she was initially investigated for.
