United States Fourth Circuit

In a discrimination case against plaintiff's former employer under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. section 12101 et seq., for denying her a reasonable accommodation following her foot surgery, the district court's dismissal of suit after concluding plaintiff failed to exhaust her administrative remedies by not filing her proposed accommodation with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is reversed where plaintiff’s administrative remedies were adequately exhausted.
