A panel of judges on the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals recently rejected an Ohio lawyer’s bid to revive his disability discrimination claim. Bloomberg Law reports that Daniel Lonergan was seeking to sue his previous law firm employer alleging that he was fired after the firm rejected accommodation requests for his attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The judicial panel found that Lonergan failed to establish that he met the initial criteria for claiming bias under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The panel decision upheld a lower court’s dismissal of the case. Lonergan represented himself in the litigation. Read the court’s opinion, which was not recommended for publication.
