United States Eighth Circuit

In an action against Iams setting forth a claim of disability discrimination under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and state law, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where a shift rotation was a non-discriminatory essential function of plaintiff's technician job, and his restriction to straight shift work rendered him unqualified to carry out all of the essential functions of the job.
