How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- finding that cancer did not qualify under the pre- amendment standard
- mitigating effects of medication must be considered in determining the disability status of a cancer patient
- declining to hold cancer to be an ADA-qualifying disability prior to ADAAA
- “Our precedents do suggest that the employer’s offer of another position in the same class of occupations may disprove an allegation of discrimination based on perception of disability.”
- \[I]t is not enough for [a] ... plaintiff to simply show that he has a record of a cancer diagnosis; in order to establish the existence of a \disability\... there must be a record of an impairment that substantially limits one or more of the ... plaintiff's major life activities.\
- “Working falls well within the phrase ‘major life activity.”
