   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3743
   U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa - Des Moines   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bye and Smith, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Family Medical Leave Act. Plaintiff failed to establish that she suffered from a serious health condition resulting in an inability to work; her short-term conditions did not rise to the level of a serious health condition and the FMLA did not protect her from discipline based on her failure to complete work; even if plaintiff had a chronic serious health condition so that a hospital visit was FMLA-protected, the district court did not err in granting the defendant's motion for summary judgment because defendant terminated plaintiff for reasons other than her work absences.
