United States Seventh Circuit

Employee's medical condition, rendering him unable to read more than 50 percent of the workday, is not a qualifying disability under the ADA; defendant's failure to renew its motion for judgment as a matter of law at the close of all evidence was excusable, where the judge had taken the prior motion "under advisement" rather then issuing a ruling.
