   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2100
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Lincoln   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Smith and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Employment discrimination. Evidence showed the City was not mistaken in its belief that plaintiff was not fit for duty in light of her impairment which substantially limited her ability to work; city's request that plaintiff pass a fitness-for-duty exam fell within the business necessity exception to the ADA's prohibition on such exams as her duties as an emergency services dispatcher had important public safety aspects and her ability to focus was critical to performance of her duties; plaintiff failed to show that she had a right to Family Medical Leave Act leave and the City could not have interfered with her rights under the Act absent such a showing; plaintiff failed to show a causal connection between her request for FMLA leave and her termination and thus failed to show the termination was retaliatory.
