MEMORANDUM OPINION
RUDOLPH CONTRERAS, District Judge.
After he was fired from his job as a corrections officer with the District of Columbia Department of Corrections, Joseph Lee brought this suit alleging a failure to accommodate his diabetes, which required him to eat healthy meals at regular times, and intentional discrimination on the basis of disability.
