J. Maldonado partially grants a university board’s motion to dismiss employment discrimination claims brought by an employee of the university’s health care and hospital system. The employee, a middle-aged Black woman, claimed she faced race and age-related discrimination at work, was unfairly targeted by her superiors for criticism, and faced retaliatory discipline for formally complaining about this treatment to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The court finds the employee has not sufficiently alleged her state law claim under the Illinois Gender Violence Act, or her adverse action claim. The rest of her claims against her employer stand.

J. Jones grants the mining company's motion for summary judgement as to the former employee's disability discrimination claims. At the time of his termination, the employee was not disabled under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Though the employee was in a work-related accident prior to his termination, available medical records provided by his doctor indicated he did not suffer a permanent disability.

J. Hunt denies a hospital system’s motion to dismiss a former medical assistant’s disability discrimination, Fair Medical Leave Act and retaliation claims. The medical assistant has a heart condition that makes it harder for her to travel, which she claims the hospital system ignored. She also claims the hospital singled her out for scrutiny and punishment, eventually firing her, because she took FMLA leave to tend to her sick grandmother. The court finds she has adequately alleged these claims, and so denies the hospital’s motion to dismiss them.

Per curiam, the Fifth Circuit finds the district court properly granted summary judgment to Midwestern State University on disability discrimination claims brought by the tenured professor who was initially denied a request to teach summer classes after his return from leave taken for anxiety and hypertension. He later took leave after being denied the request due to staffing issues, then exhausted his leave after it was granted for cervical spine issues. The professor was then terminated. He presents no evidence that he was either replaced by a non-disabled person or was treated less favorably than a non-disabled person. Other discrimination claims arising from lost income incurred by the denial of his request to teach summer classes must be reconsidered. Affirmed in part. Vacated in part and remanded.
