Rush v. Metropolitan Council Transit Operations

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Rush v. Metropolitan Council Transit Operations, 13 F. App'x 477 (8th Cir. 2001)

Rush v. Metropolitan Council Transit Operations

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

James M. Rush appeals the district court’s 1 grant of summary judgment for the Metropolitan Council Transit Operations (“MCTO”) in Rush’s employment discrimination action. Rush alleged that the MCTO refused to hire him because it regarded him as disabled within the meaning of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Minnesota Human Rights Act. The district court concluded that the MCTO did not regard Rush as disabled because the MCTO’s decision that Rush was unable to perform one job, that of part-time bus driver, did not support a conclusion that he was limited in the substantial life activity of “working.”

After a careful examination of the record, this court finds that the district court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of the MCTO. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court’s thorough opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
