Case: Disability Discrimination/Failure to Accommodate (D. Ariz.)

An Arizona federal district court denied summary judgment to Physician’s Management/Employee Leasing Company on wrongful termination and failure to accommodate claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and a retaliation claim under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, brought by a Kenyan director of nursing with colorectal cancer, finding triable issues existed as to whether the employer’s stated reasons for termination were pretextual and whether it failed to accommodate his requests for medical leave.
