United States Fourth Circuit

In an action by a blind government employee who was not transferred to or hired at a call center along with her sighted workers, alleging violations of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C.A. section 794, or Title II of the American Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), 42 U.S.C. section 12131, the district court's order granting summary judgment to defendants is: 1) reversed as to plaintiff's Section 504 claims where genuine issues of material fact remain; and 2) affirmed as to the Title II claim because public employees cannot use Title II to bring employment discrimination claims against their employers.
