 Ligas v. Maram Fact Sheet
This lawsuit was filed by nine people with developmental
disabilities (plaintiffs) who reside in large, private, state-funded
institutions or who are at risk of being placed in such
institutions. These people could live in the community if provided
with appropriate services, but the State denied their requests to
live in the community. Along with their families, they are suing the
State on their own behalf and also on behalf of other people with
developmental disabilities (class members) who could live in the
community with appropriate supports and services.
