Dear Mr. Stegeman: This is in reference to your complaint against a state or local court received 2/9/09, in which you allege violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Our office has carefully reviewed your allegations. We have determined that we shall not initiate an investigation into your complaint because, absent exceptional circumstances, this office does not intervene in litigation in state or local courts and does not review judicial decisions of such courts in individual matters. You may wish to retain private counsel to assist you in assessing what courses of action may be open to you. incerely,
