Irma Leibas v. Thomas J. Dart, Sheriff, Cook County, Illinois, et al.
Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 23-1275 · judgment July 29, 2024
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
W hether in deny ing Petitioner a reasonable accommodation for, inter alia, up to three additional bathroom breaks per shift, the Seventh Circuit correctly deferred exclusively to a doctor’s statement of Leibas’ medical restrictions in determining whether she is a “qualified individual” under the ADA, or whether other circuits are correct in requiring a holistic, fact-intensive individualized assessment of a disabled employee’s ability to perform essential job functions?
