Larry Dawson appeals the district court’s award of summary judgment in favor of AKAL Security, Inc., on his claims for discrimination and retaliation under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. Reviewing the district court’s order de novo, Humphrey v. Mem. Hosps. Ass’n, 239 F.3d 1128, 1133-34 (9th Cir. 2001), we reverse and remand because Dawson presented a triable issue of fact whether AKAL’s decision to place Dawson on unpaid leave while it delayed the interactive process for two months violated the ADA
