U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 06-1711
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Hansen and Smith, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - employment discrimination. District court did not
abuse its discretion when it deemed admitted defendant's statement
of undisputed facts when plaintiff's responses failed to comply
with Southern District of Iowa Local Rule 56.1; district court
did not err in determining that there was no evidence, direct or
circumstantial, linking plaintiff's termination to her multiple
sclerosis and rising insurance costs; plaintiff's ADA claim
failed because there was no link between her termination and
statements made about her condition and the cost of insuring her;
plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie ERISA case because
no evidence links her termination and defendant's concern about
rising insurance costs.
