How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that \an employer's perception that health problems are adversely affecting an employee's job performance is not tantamount to regarding that employee as disabled\
- explaining that fitness-for-duty examination claims needed to be limited because the ADA is “not a sword enabling employees . . . to refuse reasonable [medical examination] requests by their employers and then use that statutorily- grounded request to plead a ‘regarded as’ claim”
- “[F]or an employer’s request for an exam to be upheld, there must be significant evidence that could cause a reasonable person to inquire as to whether an employee is still capable of performing his job.”
