RICHARD SEEBORG, District Judge.

1. Plaintiff JEAN RIKER ("Plaintiff") filed a complaint in this action on May 27, 2011 (the "Initial Complaint") to obtain recovery of damages for her alleged discriminatory experiences, denial of access, and denial of her civil rights, and to enforce provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"), 42 U.S.C. sections 12101 et seq., and California civil rights laws against defendants FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC.; FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY; SIC HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO L.P., and DOES 1-20, inclusive, relating to the alleged condition of their public accommodations as of December 18, 2009, and allegedly continuing. In the Initial Complaint, Plaintiffs alleged that the defendants violated Title III of the ADA and sections 51, 52, 54, 54.1, 54.3 and 55 of the California Civil Code, and sections 19955 et seq. of the California Health & Safety Code by failing to provide full and equal access to their facilities at the Fairmont Hotel at 950 Mason Street, San Francisco, California.

3. On July 26, 2011, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint against Defendants FAIRMONT HOTELS & RESORTS (U.S.) INC.; FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT COMPANY; and FAIRMONT HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO L.P. making the same allegations and asserting the same claims as in the Initial Complaint. The First Amended Complaint superseded the Initial Complaint, and hereafter is referred to as the "Complaint."

SUBSTITUTION OF DEFENDANTS

4. After Plaintiff filed the Complaint, defendant FAIRMONT HOTEL COMPANY — SAN FRANCISCO, L.P. transferred its interests in the real property that is a subject of the Complaint to MASON STREET ASSOCIATES, LLC

5. The parties agree, and have separately signed and filed a Stipulation, incorporated hereby reference, requesting that the Court enter an Order:

6. MASON STREET ASSOCIATES, LLC and FAIRMONT HOTEL MANAGEMENT L.P. hereafter will collectively be referred to as "Defendants," and each a "Defendant."

8. On August 8, 2011, Defendants, through their predecessors, filed an Answer to the Complaint, including affirmative defenses to Plaintiff's claims. Defendants deny the allegations in the Complaint and by entering into this Consent Decree and Order do not admit liability to any of the allegations in Plaintiff's Complaint filed in this action.
