   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  09-2651
   U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska - Omaha   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Smith and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - employment discrimination. Company regarded plaintiff as
   suffering from a mental illness, thus establishing the first element of a
   prima facie case of disability discrimination; plaintiff's evidence was
   sufficient to establish a triable issue of fact about her ability to perform
   her job; however, plaintiff failed to show that her termination resulted
   from her mental illness, as the basis for her termination was her failure to
   supply a medical release allowing her to return to work; with respect to
   plaintiff's race and gender discrimination claims, she failed to establish a
   prima facie case because her termination was the result of her non-
   compliance with the company's directions to supply a work release.
