Case: Disability Discrimination/Exhaustion of Remedies (E.D. Mich.)

A Michigan federal district court denied G. Ghannam DDS, P.C. and Allenwood Dental’s motion to dismiss discrimination and retaliation claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Michigan’s Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act brought by an orthodontist with cancer who was terminated after requesting accommodation for cancer treatment, finding that despite not checking the “retaliation” box on his EEOC charge and not naming Allenwood as a respondent, the orthodontist had sufficiently exhausted his administrative remedies.
