holding that the arbitration procedures prescribed under the RLA are not appellants’ sole forums for resolution of their claims under the Federal Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C. § 794 | applying New York’s three-year statute of limitations for personal injuries to a private action under section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act | District Court for the Western District of New York found no authority for broadening of the doctrine to include seemingly inconsistent legal positions | “settlement neither requires nor implies any judicial aceeptance of either party’s claims or theories, and thus a settlement does not provide the prior success necessary for judicial estoppel” | “I still think it [a complete injunction] is an appropriate way to go” | unauthorized practice rule is not vague in all its applications because “[t]here are some activities which clearly constitute the practice of law, such as representing another person at trial or signing legal documents filed in court on behalf of another person”
