SHOTWELL v. REGIONAL WEST MEDICAL CENTER (2018)

United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.

Judy SHOTWELL Plaintiff-Appellant v. REGIONAL WEST MEDICAL CENTER Defendant-Appellee

No. 17-2561

Decided: May 07, 2018

Before WOLLMAN, LOKEN, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.

Jon Rehm, Rehm & Bennet, Lincoln, NE, for Plaintiff-Appellant Sara A. McCue, Scott P. Moore, Baird & Holm, Omaha, NE, for Defendant-Appellee

[Unpublished]

Judy Shotwell appeals the district court’s ¹ adverse grant of summary judgment in a disability discrimination and retaliation action brought against her former employer, Regional West Medical Center (Regional West), under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Nebraska Fair Employment Practice Act. The district court initially granted summary judgment in favor of Regional West on Shotwell’s discrimination claim, later granted Regional West summary judgment on the retaliation claim, and then dismissed the action.

Our review of the record satisfies us that the district court did not err in concluding that Shotwell’s claim of retaliatory action failed because she did not have a good faith belief that the accommodation she had requested was appropriate.

The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
