  • finding that even if employer considered employee incapable of performing certain functions, that alone would not be actionable under the ADA
  • holding that plaintiff with psychological disorder, whose disorder only hampered one job requirement, who acknowledged that he was capable of working despite his condition, and who provided no evidence of jobs he would be unable to perform, was not disabled under ADA
  • finding that even if employer considered employee incapable of performing certain functions, that alone would not be actionable under the ADA
  • plaintiff's depression and concomitant \inability to interact with others at work\ did not substantially limit the major life activity of working
