182130P.pdf   07/23/2019  Jeremy Heuton  v.  Ford Motor Company
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-2130
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, of Melloy and Grasz, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Missouri Human Rights Act. Under the MHRA, even if plaintiff has shown that he has a physical limitation, he must nevertheless show Ford wrongly believed that his physical impairment (here the absence of a left hand) substantially impaired a major life activity; because this case only involves the major life activity of working or employment, the broad range-of-jobs standard applied, and the district court correctly applied that standard; the district court did not err in concluding Ford only considered plaintiff as unable to perform the single, particular job he applied for - entry-level assembly on an assembly line; plaintiff waived the argument that Ford was precluded from relitigating the issue of whether it regarded him as significantly restricted from performing either a class of jobs or a broad range of jobs in various classes because the issue was not raised before the district court; plaintiff presented no meaningful argument in this appeal regarding his retaliation claim, and the court would not consider it.
