Reza v. International Game Technology
Reza v. International Game Technology
Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM
Plaintiff Marlen Reza appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of Defendant International Game Technology (“IGT”), Reza’s former employer, on claims that she was terminated in violation of the Family and Medical Leave Act (“FMLA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.
The FMLA did not require IGT to restore Reza to her lead position or to another position because she was unable to perform an essential function of her position. See 29 C.F.R. § 825.216(c). Reza
The district court also properly granted summary judgment on the ADA claim. IGT sufficiently engaged in the ADA-mandated interactive process with Reza regarding reasonable accommodations for her speaking disability.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
. Because IGT conceded the issue, we need not decide whether Reza suffered from an ADA-recognized disability. See 42 U.S.C. § 12102(1)(A).
. Additionally, as Reza failed to provide medical evidence supporting her new "smells” condition, IGT was not required to engage in further interactive processes, and Reza was not entitled to accommodation under the ADA. See Allen v. Pac. Bell, 348 F.3d 1113, 1115-16 (9th Cir. 2003) (per curiam).
