Boitnott v. Corning Inc., No. 10-1769 (4th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff sued his employer under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq., asserting that his inability to work more than eight hours per day and rotate day/night shifts as a result of physical impairments rendered him disabled under the ADA. The district court granted summary judgment to the employer and plaintiff subsequently appealed. The court held that an inability to work overtime did not constitute a "substantial" limitation on a major life activity under the ADA and the record contained no evidence indicating that plaintiff's inability to work overtime "significantly restricted" his ability to perform a class of jobs or a broad range of jobs in various classes. Therefore, the court affirmed the judgment of the district court.
