• reversing summary judgment on the first element, disability, but leaving open on remand whether the plaintiff was a qualified individual and was discriminated against because of her disability
• affirming the dismissal of ADA claims against individual defendants because the “remedy for any discrimination [the plaintiff] may have suffered on account of her alleged disability lies against her employer, not individual officers of her employer”
• “There is nothing to indicate that Pritchard’s statements (which were based on the statements of unknown co-workers) will lead to admissible evidence.”
• liability under the Rehabilitation Act lies against employer, not individual officers of employer
