Question presented

Did the Court abuse its discretion in dismissing the amended complaint for disability discrimination and retaliation? Did the Court abuse its discretion and demonstrate bias and prejudice by adopting and implementing the same, nearly identical policies as those of defendant which gave rise to the complaint? Did the amended complaint state a cause of action for disability discrimination in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act1? Did the amended complaint state a cause of action for disability retaliation in violation of the ADA? Did the Court abuse its discretion by failing to consider the Congressional intent and standard of review for ADA pleadings by failing to review defendant’s response to determine if it expressed any ADA defense? 1 Henceforth, “ADA”.
