   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-1066
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Stras, Author, with Smith, Chief Judge, and Benton, Circuit Judge] Civil case - Employment discrimination. In this Americans with Disabilities Act action, a reasonable jury could conclude Dollar General was aware of plaintiff's disability, that she asked for an accommodation and that Dollar General, had it engaged in the interactive process, could have reasonable accommodated her; as a result, plaintiff established enough to survive a summary judgment motion on her ADA claim; however, she failed to establish unlawful retaliation under the ADA, the Missouri Human Rights Act and the Family Medical Leave Act as neither defendants' actions amounted to retaliation; plaintiff failed to follow the steps Dollar General had established in its employee handbook for requesting Family Medical Leave Act leave and lost any right she had to FMLA leave.
