U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 07-3101
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines
[PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Wollman and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Employment discrimination. District court did not err in
determining that plaintiff was not disabled for purposes of the Americans
with Disabilities Act as she did not have a substantial limitation of any
major life activity; plaintiff failed to show defendant regarded her as
disabled; even if the company did regard her disabled, plaintiff failed to
show that she could perform the essential functions of her production line
job.
