CompFox AI Summary
Plaintiff, identified as Ms. Roberson, was terminated by the Defendant for excessive absences following a period of medical leave. She sued, alleging violations of the FMLA, ADA, and Tennessee Handicap Act, as well as intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The core of her FMLA claim revolved around the disputed start date of her medical leave and whether she was adequately notified. The Court denied Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment and granted Defendant's motion, finding that Plaintiff could not establish FMLA injury as she was unable to return to work even under her proposed leave dates. The ADA and THA claims failed because Plaintiff was not deemed qualified to perform her job and did not prove termination solely due to disability. Finally, the emotional distress claims were dismissed due to insufficient evidence.
