• concluding that “retaliation provisions of the Congressional Accountability Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act are, for present purposes, indistinguishable” and therefore holding that requesting an accommodation under the CAA was a protected activity
• explaining that if denying a reasonable accommodation request could itself support a claim of retaliation, “then every failure-to-accommodate claim would be doubled”
• noting that “[although this circuit has not resolved the question, four circuits have found that hostile work environment claims are available under the ADA,” and citing cases from the Tenth, Eight, Fifth, and Fourth Circuits
• noting that “[a]lthough this circuit has not resolved the question, four circuits have found that hostile work environment claims are available under the ADA,” and citing cases from the Tenth, Eighth, Fifth, and Fourth Circuits
• finding that a complaint describing several specific “humiliating” and “derogatory” comments about plaintiff’s “vision and the pace at which she worked,” in light of the plaintiff’s pro se status, “sufficiently (if barely) alleged” a hostile work environment”
• requiring evidence that office “delib erately denie[d] an accommodation knowing that the denial w[ould] make working conditions so intolerable that [Ms. Floyd] w[ould] be forced to resign”
