161760P.pdf   01/19/2017  Justin Guenther  v.  Griffin Construction Company
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1760
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Fayetteville   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Murphy and Smith, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Employment discrimination. The district court erred in 
   determining this action for compensatory damages for employment 
   discrimination under the Americans with Disability Act abated upon the 
   death of the aggrieved party; federal common law does not incorporate 
   state law to determine whether an ADA claim for compensatory damages 
   survives the death of the aggrieved party, and the individual's estate may 
   bring and maintain a suit for compensatory damages under the ADA in place 
   of the aggrieved party.
