Case: Disability Discrimination/Retaliation (N.D. Ala.)

An Alabama federal district court denied Matsu Alabama’s motion for summary judgment on Americans with Disabilities Act discrimination and retaliation claims, and Family and Medical Leave Act interference and retaliation claims brought by a quality manager with multiple medical conditions, including diabetes, pituitary tumor, hypothyroidism, and osteoarthritis, finding genuine disputes of material fact regarding whether his disability and upcoming knee surgery were factors in his termination, which occurred ten days before his scheduled surgery and shortly after he submitted FMLA paperwork.
