The Sacramento woman who sued the tiny Squeeze Inn hamburger restaurant over its lack of wheelchair access has dropped her lawsuit.

Kimberly Block, 41, filed a civil rights complaint July 6 against the Squeeze Inn under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In the lawsuit, Block claimed she suffered “embarrassment and humiliation” when she tried to eat there last November.

A lawsuit filed by a disabled woman against theSqueeze Inn, the tiny Sacramento eatery with big burgers and a bigger following, has been dropped — but that won’t stop the burger joint’s owner from moving.

“We have to move to another place because there is nothing to prevent us from being sued in the future,” said Squeeze Inn owner Travis Hausauer. Also, he said, the new location will accommodate more diners.

“If you had a good arm, you could hit the new location with a rock from the place where we are now,” said Hausauer.

A one-page notice filed with the U.S. District Court in Sacramento this week announced the action against the Squeeze Inn had been “dismissed by the plaintiff in its entirety.” There was no explanation offered.

Sacramento attorney Mike Welch was among those angered by the lawsuit and represented the Squeeze Inn free of charge. Welch said Block’s Eureka attorney, ADA frequent filer Jason Singleton, was apparently overwhelmed by the public outcry.

“He took a bite out of the wrong apple,” Welch said

I for one am looking forward to having another ‘Squeeze with Cheese’! I once made a comment that I hoped all of the publicity would generate a ton of business for the Squeeze Inn, and by the looks of the lines, I think I was right!
