   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.
