Olsen v. Capital Region Medical Center, et al, No. 12-2113 (8th Cir. 2013)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff, employed by the CRMC, filed charges of discrimination against her employer after CRMC's placement of her on administrative leave following work-related epileptic seizures and the hiring of a younger technician. Because plaintiff was not a qualified individual to perform the job duties with or without accommodation, the court did not err in granting summary judgment to CRMC based on the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq., and Missouri Human Rights Act, Mo. Rev. Stat. 213.010, claims. Plaintiff's age discrimination claims failed for the same reason her disability discrimination claims failed. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
Court Description: Civil case - Employment Discrimination. Plaintiff was not a qualified individual for ADA or Missouri Human Right Act purposes as she failed to establish that she could perform the duties of her job with or without accommodation; plaintiff's age-discrimination claim fails for the same reason - she could not make a prima facie case that she was qualified for the position.
