OPINION
Mark R. Hornak, United States District Judge
The big issues in this case are whether the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEÜC”) can bring a federal civil lawsuit to end what it claims to be employment practices made unlawful by the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”), achieve compensatory relief for specific job applicants and employees as it does so, and whether that effort requires the EEOC’s compliance with Rule 23 doctrines. The Court concludes that the answer to the first two questions is yes, and to the third, no.
