U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-1223
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Beam and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Family and Medical Leave Act. Viewing the evidence in
the light most favorable to plaintiff, a reasonable jury could conclude that
she satisfied the FMLA's notice requirements by providing notice of her
need for medical leave "as soon as was practicable;" alternatively, a
reasonable jury could find that plaintiff had been terminated for taking
such leave when a serious health condition unexpectedly prevented from
fulfilling her work assignment; defendant's summary judgment reversed
and the case remanded for further proceedings.
