Roommates.com Plaintiff’s Reply to EFF Brief

By Eric Goldman

The Fair Housing Councils have filed a reply to the EFF et al amicus brief (which I joined) in favor of an en banc hearing in the Roommates.com case. In it, the plaintiffs admit that aspects of Kozinski’s opinion “created some lack of clarity,” “mistakes the nature of the claim,” contains “unnecessary and confusing language” and should be amended. Yet, the plaintiffs don’t think an en banc hearing is necessary to correct these problems.
