Bearshield v. John Morrell & Co.

TERNUS, Justice.

Appellant Carol Bearshield sued her employer, appellee John Morrell & Co., claiming disability discrimination. In granting John Morrell’s motion for summary judgment, the district ruled, as a matter of law, that Bear-shield was not disabled within the meaning of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Iowa Civil Rights Act. See 42 U.S.C. §§ 12102(2), 12112(a) (1988); Iowa Code §§ 216.2(5), 216.6(l)(a) (1993). Bearshield appealed. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for further proceedings.
