1Opinion of the Court
ROVNER, Circuit Judge.
Mary Casna sued the City of Loves Park, Illinois, its mayor, and its chief of police after she lost her job with the police department. Casna wears hearing aids and argues that the defendants (collectively, Loves Park) violated the Americans with Disability Act by firing her when she complained about mistreatment. See 42 U.S.C. § 12203(a). Casna also claims that Loves Park deprived her of her job without due process, in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of Loves Park. We reverse.
