Question presented

Does a United States Court of Appeals ruling which affirmed the per se requirements of Wood v. Green, 323 F.3d 1309, 1314 (11th Cir, 2003), and which denied that Petitioner's request to her employer for indefinite leave to seek medical treatment was a reasonable accommodation, and thus determined that Petitioner was not a qualified individual under the Rehabilitation Act, undermine the very ability of a victim to establish a prima facie case of discrimination, and in the process thwart the intended protections of the Rehabilitation Act in the process.
