A federal appellate court victory won by the wheelchair-bound former mayor of Rolling Hills in a class-action lawsuit against the U.S. Postal Service was made binding by Los Angeles U.S. District Judge William P. Gray Sr., who gave the government 20 days to present a plan for remodeling leased postal facilities to provide ramps, drinking fountains and parking spaces for the disabled. Although the government provides such facilities in federally owned buildings, about two-thirds--or 20,000--of the nation’s leased post offices are estimated to be without them.
