The complaint alleged a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), claiming termination due to disability. Chase moved for summary judgment, arguing the plaintiff was not a 'qualified individual with a disability' and did not request reasonable accommodation. The court assumed for the motion that the plaintiff was substantially limited by depression and that her condition might have been aggravated by the termination. The court denied the motion for summary judgment, finding that Chase failed to establish the absence of a genuine issue regarding whether the plaintiff could have returned to work with a reasonable accommodation of additional leave.
