How courts have described this case

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

  • reviewing “the record for evidence of six factors set forth in the [Disabilities Act] regulations.”
  • recognizing the additional factors “may be considered,” but holding summary judgment for employer is appropriate when the evidence failed to show the employee was restricted from performing a class of jobs, or to address the employee’s vocational training and accessible geographical area
  • recognizing evidence did not address plaintiff’s “vocational training”
  • evidence showing inability to perform certain physical jobs failed to establish inability to work generally
  • Evidence that Plaintiff is restricted from doing a number of physical jobs does not answer the inquiry of how impairment restricts overall employment opportunities
  • plaintiff presented evidence concerning only nature and severity of impairment, nothing at all concerning the geographic area, class of jobs, or broad range of jobs
