United States Eighth Circuit

In an action raising claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and state law, brought after plaintiff was dismissed from her job as a patient care technician at two of defendant's kidney dialysis clinics, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) for purposes of ADA and state law claims, plaintiff failed to show that she was qualified to perform the essential functions of her job without an accommodation and defendant had no duty to accommodate plaintiff because she failed as a matter of law to provide sufficient notice of her need; and 2) FMLA claims failed as plaintiff did not put defendant on notice that she had a serious health condition.
