Cogburn grants Amazon’s motion for summary judgment following allegations of gender and disability discrimination and retaliation brought by a former associate after she sustained an injury at work. The associate hit her head on a video monitor and got treatment from Amazon’s medical staff in the form of over-the-counter medicine and ice. Although the staff and two other medical professionals approved the associate to return to work, she claimed she had a note from her own doctor stating she could not, although she never produced said note. Despite Amazon warning her they would fire her if she continued to no-call no-show, she continued to not come in for work for at least four days. She fails to present sufficient evidence of either discrimination or retaliation, and Amazon’s firing was legitimate because she violated the attendance policy.
