Try CasePortal for FreeJ. Howell grants the employer's motion for summary judgment in the employee's suit alleging failures to provide a computer with enlarged font after the surgical removal of her eye and to grant her adequate leave during the Covid-19 pandemic, along with a failure to promote her which she argues was discriminatory. The employee has not shown that the employer's stated reason for failure to promote her, namely a poor interview performance, was pretextual, nor that its reason for terminating her, namely repeated failures to provide medical documentation required for accommodations including leave, was pretextual. The employee's failure-to-accommodate claims also fail, since the employee has not alleged that, when told that the computer they provided was inadequate, her supervisors refused or failed to follow up on her objections or that it did not engage in a good-faith dialogue with the employee as to her leave requests.
