United States Eighth Circuit
Kobus v. Coll. of St. Scholastica, Inc., 09-1583
In an action against plaintiff's former employer, alleging that his forced resignation interfered with or denied his rights under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and discriminated against him on account of disability in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Minnesota Human Rights Act (MHRA), summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) no reasonable jury could find that defendant's FMLA documents were ambiguous in requiring a medical certification as part of an FMLA leave application; and 2) the record contains no specific evidence that plaintiff's limitations were apparent at work.
