EDITH H. JONES, Chief Judge:
What began as a routine disciplinary effort to ensure work attendance during the run-up to “Y2K” ended in the discharge of a 22-year veteran of the City of Arlington, Texas, Fire Department. He filed suit challenging the discharge, inter alia, as a violation of the Family and Medi*493cal Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. 2601 et seq. (“FMLA”).
