Description
In this Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) case, the plaintiff, Dale Ross, appeals the district court's order granting summary judgment to the defendant, Campbell Soup Company, based on the court's determination that Ross had failed to present evidence of discrimination on the basis of disability under the ADA, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101-12213 (2000). On appeal, Ross claims that the district court erred in finding no issue of material fact on three points: (1) that Ross was not disabled within the meaning of the Act; (2) that Campbell Soup did not regard Ross as disabled within the meaning of the Act; and (3) that Ross did not present direct evidence of discrimination on the basis of disability. Although we conclude that the district court was correct in its ruling with regard to the question of Ross's actual disability, we further conclude that there exists a genuine issue of material fact concerning the company's alleged perception that Ross was disabled within the meaning of the ADA.
