United States Eighth Circuit


ANDERSON v. NORTH DAKOTA STATE HOSP., 99-3329

State has sovereign immunity from ADA claim under Eleventh Amendment, and employee's fear of snakes does not substantially limit her ability to drive or work since employee's temporary hysteria is not alleged to permanently impair her driving, and a comfort level with snakes is not a requirement for most jobs.
