U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1496
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Gruender, Circuit
Judges]
Civil case - Employment discrimination. Employer's request that
plaintiff undergo a fitness-for-duty evaluation was job-related and
consistent with business necessity and did not violate the Americans with
Disabilities Act; request for plaintiff's medical records was no broader or
more intrusive than was necessary; defendant failed to show the
employer's stated reasons for her discharge were a pretext for age
discrimination; plaintiff failed to make a prima facie case of gender
discrimination as she did not show that she suffered an adverse
employment action or that she was treated differently than similarly-
situated male employees; plaintiff failed to make a prima facie case of
retaliation on age or gender grounds; invasion of privacy claim rejected;
district court did not abuse its discretion in denying modified motion to
amend complaint.
