Case Summary: 12-CV-8879

The plaintiff in this case asserts the following:

Wrongful discharge of plaintiff from his former employer, the City of Evanston. Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, plaintiff asserts he was a qualified person with a disability at the time the City of Evanston terminated him from his employment without reasonable accommodation and failed to engage in an interactive process to explore appropriate and/or alternative reasonable accommodation to permit plaintiff to continue his job as a water service worker with the City of Evanston.

The defenses position in this case is as follows:

Plaintiff draws on selected facts, evidence, and embellishment. Plaintiff excludes facts that defeat his claims, and glosses over elements that he cannot meet. The burden of proof in this case lies solely with Plaintiff. Plaintiff is required to establish each and every element to support his single-count Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. (“ADA”) claim. Plaintiff failed to do that.
