Linda S. Cooper v. Olin Corporation, Winchester Division

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that plaintiff failed to establish that depression substantially limited plaintiff's ability to care for herself where she lived independently and successfully cared for her livestock and farm
• concluding that an employer’s conclusion that an employee was precluded from her particular locomotive job is not sufficient to indicate the employer considered her to be disabled in the activity of working
• concluding a plaintiff who describes her impairment (depression) as causing a negative impact is not enough to allow an inference of a substantial limitation
• observing that there are more stringent requirements for medical certification than for the fitness-for-duty certification
• finding plaintiff who suffered from depression for over 30 years was not disabled in part because she had worked and raised a family, oversaw her own finances, and lived alone and successfully cared for her pets
• con-clusory, self-serving statements do not create issues of fact in summary judgment motions
