AARON LOGAN v. STATE OF FLORIDA

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • assuming working is MLA and holding employee is disabled from working if he is precluded from “ ‘substantial class’ or ‘broad range’ of jobs otherwise available to him”
  • vacating jury verdict on the plaintiffs actually disabled claim because he failed “to produce some evidence of the number and types of jobs in the local employment market”
  • assuming that work is a major life activity
  • to prevail on a disability discrimination claim requires that a plaintiff “suffer[] an adverse employment action . . . because of the plaintiff's disability.”
  • back injury preventing plaintiff from lifting more than twenty pounds does not substantially limit major life activity of working
  • “At most [plaintiff’s] testimony shows that he was not qualified for the particular kind of job — truck driver — for which he chose to apply. It tells us nothing about whether he was qualified for the many other jobs in the Washington metropolitan employment pool.”
