   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  03-1609
   District of Minnesota   
   Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Plaintiff failed to show that 
   his Attention Deficit Disorder or depression substantially limited his 
   ability to learn to a considerable degree as compared to the average 
   person, and the district court did not err in granting the union summary 
   judgment on plaintiff's ADA claim; further, plaintiff failed to show the 
   union was ever aware that he had a learning disability, as there was no 
   medical evaluation finding such a disability at the time he was terminated 
   from the union's apprenticeship program; as the union was unaware that 
   plaintiff had a learning disability, it was not under any duty to offer 
   accommodation; record did not establish any connection between 
   plaintiff's requests for assistance and the decision to terminate him, and 
   his retaliation claim must fail. Judge Heaney, concurring.
