United States Eighth Circuit

Denial of defendant's motion for judgment as a matter of law on plaintiff's Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and state law claims is affirmed where: 1) the record supported a jury's finding that plaintiff was disabled for ADA purposes with regards to his depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorders; 2) evidence supported a finding that defendant failed to engage in a good-faith interactive process with plaintiff regarding reasonable accommodation; and 3) evidence showed a reasonable accommodation was available.
