Case: Disability Discrimination/Reasonable Accommodation (5th Cir.)

The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed judgment on the pleadings for GStek on Americans with Disabilities Act failure-to-accommodate, discrimination, and retaliation claims by an IT systems administrator with autism, major depressive disorder, and social anxiety disorder, ruling that in-person attendance was an essential job function he could not perform even with accommodation and GStek had provided reasonable accommodation by allowing him to work from home two to three days per week.
