How courts have described this case

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

  • finding plaintiff failed to meet his burden where plaintiff “presented no evidence whatsoever concerning the kinds of jobs from which he is disqualified”
  • finding plaintiffs testimony that he could not sit for “long periods of time” “too vague to establish a substantial limitation”
  • finding evidence of plaintiffs restrictions on walking, standing, sitting, bending, and lifting would not “support a rational conclusion that [plaintiff] was unable to perform the requirements of even a single job, let alone a class or broad range of jobs”
  • evidence that plaintiff has “some limitation of motion with forward bending and side to side” insufficient to support finding by a reasonable jury that plaintiff was substantially limited in his ability to bend
  • same, for fifteen pound lifting restriction
