   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1374
   U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Shepherd and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Americans with Disabilities Act. On the facts presented, the 
   court cannot conclude that the defendant hospital failed to discharge its 
   duty to provide plaintiffs with effective communication concerning their 
   child's medical information; the facts were sufficient to establish that 
   the hospital provided plaintiffs with the requested auxiliary aid (a TTY 
   device) and offered assistance, which was declined, in setting up the 
   device; the patient's sister did not qualify for associational standing to 
   bring a claim as her parents, as disabled persons, were not denied 
   statutorily required services under the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act or the 
   Minnesota Human Rights Act; her injury, therefore, could not be casually 
   related to the denial of federally required services to the disabled 
   person with whom she, as a non-disabled person, was associated.
