Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Davis finds the district court improperly dismissed the disabled, black employee's discrimination and retaliation claims. The employee was hired to work within the county's drug trafficking division. His request to work remotely in 2020, to avoid contracting COVID after throat surgery, being in remission from cancer, was denied by his supervisor. The employee was placed on administrative leave after complaining of this and an internal data breach involving his family, and was allegedly told to remove religious garments during a later discussion with his supervisor. The district court incorrectly determined that the employee failed to produce evidence that he informed the county of his disabilities or that he requested accommodation. Furthermore, the district court failed to treat the drug trafficking division as the same entity as the county. Vacated.
