ORDER

PAUL G. BYRON, District Judge.

This cause comes before the Court without oral argument on the parties' cross-motions for summary judgment (Docs. 77, 79) and the responses thereto (Docs. 83, 84). With briefing complete, the matter is ripe. Upon consideration, Defendant Orlando Health, Inc.'s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 77) is due to be granted on the issue of standing and the case dismissed.

I. BACKGROUND

In this case, Plaintiff Joel Price sues Defendant Orlando Health, Inc., based on Defendant's website's inaccessibility to the visually impaired, under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12181-12189, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794. (Doc. 1). The Complaint requests a declaratory judgment, injunctive relief, and attorneys' fees. (Id.).

Plaintiff is "legally blind" and therefore uses assistive screen reader software to access the Internet. (Doc. 1, ¶¶ 11, 19, 33; Doc. 77-1, 49:7-15). In September 2017, Plaintiff called Defendant "to find out if his medical insurance carrier was accepted at Orlando Health medical facilities and to inquire about the types of medical services offered therein." (Doc. 1, ¶ 29). Defendant's representative referred Plaintiff to orlandohealth.com to access the information he sought. (Id.). However, the website proved inaccessible to Plaintiff and he was "unable to comprehend" the information on Defendant's website. (Id. ¶¶ 30-32). Defendant's website "contains access barriers" to visually-impaired individuals and "lacks prompting information and accommodations" for screen reader programs. (Id. ¶¶ 33-34). The Complaint alleges that Defendant's inaccessible website excluded Plaintiff "from accessing Defendant's physical medical facility locations." (Id. ¶ 35). Plaintiff therefore brought this action to make Defendant's website accessible to the visually impaired.

Plaintiff has lived in Daytona Beach, Florida, for at least the past five years. (Doc. 77-1, 30:4-15). While living in Daytona Beach, Plaintiff has been treated for intermittent emergencies at Halifax Hospital and a hospital on Atlantic Avenue—both of which located in Daytona Beach. (Id. 21:13-22:13). Plaintiff has also been treated at the Daytona Beach V.A. Center and an optometry office in DeLand, Florida, in connection with his visual impairment. (Id. 52:4-53:16; Doc. 77-2, 56:20-57:6). Plaintiff sees other doctors at the Daytona Beach V.A. Center semi-regularly for other conditions. (Id. 83:22-84:8; 85:5-13). Plaintiff visited the Orlando V.A. Hospital "two or three times" in recent years to see an eye specialist. (Id. 58:24-59:14). Because Plaintiff does not drive, he is transported to his V.A. and other doctor's appointments by a transportation company retained by the V.A. (Id. 58:6-15; 76:1-79:6). Plaintiff has never visited any of Orlando Health's physical locations and does not have plans to visit one in the near future. (Id. 138:9-16).

Plaintiff first learned about Orlando Health from other people on the Internet. (Id. 107:1-12). In his deposition, Plaintiff stated that he had been thinking about moving to the Orlando area since he has visited Orlando several times for appointments with specialists, but he does not plan to move anywhere at this time. (Id. 107:24-108:3). In his affidavit, Plaintiff claims that he "needed medical services and information about Defendant's facilities" when he contacted Defendant in September 2017. (Doc. 84-6, ¶ 15; see also id. ¶ 24 ("I was excluded by these factors from accessing Defendant's physical medical facility locations. . . .")). Again, without citing evidence, Plaintiff's brief maintains that Plaintiff "has concrete plans to use the medical facilities Orlando Health offers once he is able to effectively communicate with Orlando Health." (Doc. 84, p. 9).

Defendant is a Florida corporation operating medical facilities in the Orlando, Florida, area. (Doc. 1, ¶¶ 14-15). Without citing to the record, Plaintiff's Response to Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment asserts that "Plaintiff resides just 57.8 miles from Defendant's medical facility."1 Regardless of Plaintiff's failure to cite evidence, the Court takes judicial notice that Plaintiff lives approximately 49.4 miles from the closest Orlando Health facility.2 Although Plaintiff asserts a plan to visit "Defendant's facilities" in the near future, Plaintiff does not specify which of Defendant's eight hospitals3 he intends to visit.

II. STANDARD OF REVIEW

"The court shall grant summary judgment if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). The party moving for summary judgment must "cit[e] to particular parts of materials in the record, including depositions, documents, electronically stored information, affidavits or declarations, stipulations . . ., admissions, interrogatory answers, or other materials" to support its position that it is entitled to summary judgment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)(1)(A). "The court need consider only the cited materials" when resolving a motion for summary judgment. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)(3); see also HRCC, LTD v. Hard Rock Café Int'l (USA), Inc., 703 F. App'x 814, 816-17 (11th Cir. 2017) (per curiam) (holding that a district court does not err by limiting its review to the evidence cited by the parties in their summary judgment briefs).4

A factual dispute is "genuine" only if "a reasonable jury could return a verdict for the nonmoving party." Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). A fact is "material" if the fact could affect the outcome of the lawsuit under the governing law. Id. The moving party bears the initial burden of identifying those portions of the record demonstrating the absence of a genuine factual dispute. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986); Hickson Corp. v. N. Crossarm Co., 357 F.3d 1256, 1260 (11th Cir. 2004). If the movant shows that there is no evidence to support the non-moving party's case, the burden then shifts to the non-moving party to demonstrate that there are, in fact, genuine factual disputes which preclude judgment as a matter of law. Porter v. Ray, 461 F.3d 1315, 1320 (11th Cir. 2006). Summary judgment is proper when a plaintiff fails to adequately prove an essential element of their claim. Celotex, 477 U.S. at 322-23.

III. DISCUSSION

Both sides advance numerous arguments in favor of their respective motions for summary judgment. However, this matter is due to be dismissed because Plaintiff lacks standing; therefore, the Court need only address standing. Defendant contends that Plaintiff lacks standing to bring this suit for "injunctive relief because there is no real and immediate threat of future discrimination or harm." (Doc. 77, p. 14). Plaintiff disagrees, citing a desire to patronize Defendant's facilities in the future to satisfy the threat of future discrimination requirement. (Doc. 84, pp. 84-85). The Court agrees with Defendant and finds that Plaintiff lacks standing.

A plaintiff must satisfy three requirements to establish standing: (1) injury-in-fact; (2) a causal connection between the injury and the conduct complained of; and (3) that it is likely the injury will be redressed by a favorable ruling. See Lujan v. Defs. of Wildlife, 504 U.S. 555, 560 (1992) (holding that a "some day" intent to return is insufficient); see also Houston v. Marod Supermarkets, Inc., 733 F.3d 1323, 1328 (11th Cir. 2013). The injury-in-fact component requires a plaintiff seeking prospective injunctive relief to plausibly show that she will suffer future disability discrimination by the defendant. Houston, 733 F.3d at 1328. This means that the threat of future injury must be "real and immediate—as opposed to merely conjectural or hypothetical." Id. at 1329. Specifically, "a plaintiff seeking an injunction under Title III either must `have attempted to return' to the non-compliant building or at least `intend to do so in the future.'" Id. at 1336 (citing Shotz v. Cates, 256 F.3d 1077, 1082 (11th Cir. 2001)). Generally, a plaintiff's "profession of an `inten[t]' to return to the places [she] ha[s] visited before" is insufficient to establish standing to pursue injunctive relief. Lujan, 504 U.S. at 564.

Analyzing the threat of future discrimination frequently turns on four factors:5 "(1) the proximity of the defendant's business to the plaintiff's residence; (2) the plaintiff's past patronage of the defendant's business; (3) the definiteness of the plaintiff's plan to return; and (4) the frequency of the plaintiff's travel near the defendant's business." See Houston, 733 F.3d at 1327; see also Hoewischer v. Cedar Bend Club, Inc., 877 F.Supp.2d 1212, 1222 (M.D. Fla. 2012). These factors are not exclusive, nor is a single factor dispositive; rather a court "must consider the totality of all relevant facts to determine whether a plaintiff faces a real and immediate threat of future injury." Houston, 733 F.3d at 1337 n.6.

Because Plaintiff's pleaded injury is an inability to access services offered by Defendant at Defendant's physical locations,6 Plaintiff's standing depends on a showing of a real threat that Plaintiff would visit Defendant's locations in the future absent the discriminatory conduct. See Houston, 733 F.3d at 1328; see also Carroll v. Farmers & Miners Bank, No. 2:17-cv-49, 2018 WL 1659481 (W.D. Va. Apr. 5, 2018) (finding that plaintiff failed to show an injury in fact or a real threat of future harm where plaintiff lived nearly four hundred miles from the closest physical location belonging to defendant); Carroll v. New People's Bank. Inc., 1:17-cv-44, 2018 WL 1659482 (W.D. Va. Apr. 5, 2018) (finding that plaintiff failed to show injury in fact or a real threat of future harm where plaintiff lived nearly three hundred miles from the closest physical location).

Indeed, in the context of ADA claims based on inaccessible websites, the physical location is critical. "Where a website is heavily integrated with physical store locations and operates as a gateway to the physical store locations, courts have found that the website is a service of a public accommodation and is covered by the ADA." Id. at 1349. Gil v. Winn-Dixie Stores, Inc., 257 F.Supp.3d 1340, 1348 (S.D. Fla. 2017). However, courts in this Circuit routinely find that websites are not covered by the ADA where the website is unconnected to a physical location. Id. at 1348-49 (collecting cases). Therefore, Plaintiff's standing depends on the probability that Plaintiff would patronize Defendant's physical location in the future.7

Plaintiff has failed to establish a "real and immediate—as opposed to merely conjectural or hypothetical"—threat of future injury. See Houston, 733 F.3d at 1329. Plaintiff has not shown that he has been referred to Orlando Health's doctors, has no scheduled appointments at an Orlando Health, Inc. facility, has never visited an Orlando Health, Inc. facility, and has not articulated a concrete plan to visit one in the near future. Instead, Plaintiff expresses a general desire to access Defendant's facilities (Doc. 84-6, ¶ 25),8 despite his own deposition testimony that he lives a moderate distance from Orlando, seldom leaves Daytona Beach, cannot drive himself, and is under the ongoing care of doctors in Daytona Beach and DeLand to treat his chronic conditions. (Doc. 77-1, 30:4-15, 52:4-53:16, 56:8-57:6; Doc. 77-2, 83:22-84:8, 85:5-13; Doc. 84-6, ¶ 25). Plaintiff's indefinite "`some day' intentions—without any description of concrete plans, or indeed even any specification of when the some day will be—do not support a finding of the `actual or imminent' injury." See Lujan, 504 U.S. at 564; see also Jones v. Family First Credit Union, No. 1:17-CV-4592, 2018 WL 5045231, at *5 (N.D. Ga. Aug. 6, 2018) (finding that plaintiff failed to allege standing to pursue ADA claims based on inaccessible website where the complaint was "devoid of allegations concerning [the P]laintiff's plans or intent to use Defendant's services in the future." (quoting Brintley v. Aeroquip Credit Union, 321 F.Supp.3d 785, 790 (E.D. Mich. 2018))); Haynes v. Pollo Operations, Inc., No. 17-61003, 2018 WL 1523421, at *2-3 (S.D. Fla. Mar. 28, 2018) (dismissing similar complaint that failed to allege that the plaintiff attempted to access or intended to access the defendant's physical location).

The Court's conclusion that Plaintiff lacks standing is fortified by application of the proximity test. Plaintiff (1) does not live in close proximity to Defendant's locations, (2) has never patronized Defendant's facilities, (3) expresses an indefinite plan to visit Defendant's facilities, and (4) does not travel near Defendant's business frequently. See Houston, 733 F.3d at 1327. The totality of these factors weigh heavily in favor of a finding that Plaintiff lacks standing. See id. at 1337 n.6 And although Plaintiff visited Orlando to see doctors on a handful of occasions, each visit was made pursuant to a referral from his doctors in Daytona Beach. (See Doc. 77-2, 56:20-57:6, 58:24-59:14). Therefore, these visits have little bearing on the question of whether Plaintiff is likely to visit Defendant's facilities in Orlando, in the absence of specific facts showing that Plaintiff's "plan" to visit an Orlando Health, Inc. physical location is more than a "some day" hope. Finding that Plaintiff has standing would undermine the principle that "standing requires a concrete injury even in the context of a statutory violation." See Spokeo, Inc. v. Robins, 136 S.Ct. 1540, 1549 (2016).

IV. CONCLUSION

Accordingly, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
