Kelley v. Corr. Med. Servs., Inc., No. 11-2246 (1st Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff, a nurse working for Employer, was injured during a horseback riding accident. Plaintiff's employment was later terminated. Plaintiff filed a complaint against Employer, alleging Employer retaliated against her for requesting an accommodation in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA). The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Employer, concluding that Plaintiff had failed to adduce evidence that Employer's stated basis for terminating Plaintiff was pretextual and that Plaintiff's evidence of retaliatory animus was too conclusory and speculative to take to trial. The First Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the entry of summary judgment on Plaintiff's retaliation claims under the ADA and MHRA, holding that Plaintiff presented sufficient evidence to bring to a jury. Remanded.
