How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- concluding that failure-to- accommodate-disability claim was time barred because last refusal to offer the employee “a job she requested” was outside of limitations period
- holding that a plaintiff “must file a charge of discrimination—including failure to accommodate—within 300 days of the alleged discrimination”
- concluding that evidence that was “not close in time to the alleged adverse employment action” and that did not “relate[] to the legitimacy of [the] action” was insufficient to show pretext
- explaining that equitable tolling does not apply just because an employee does not know “all the facts related to the purported discrimination”
- noting a failure to accommodate claim “accrue[s] the date on which the adverse employment action is communicated to the employee”
- rejecting the argument that a disability discrimination claim accrued when the plaintiff “had knowledge of all the facts related to the purported discrimination”
