Joseph R. Matczak v. Frankford Candy and Chocolate Company, Joseph Matczak

OPINION OF THE COURT

LEWIS, Circuit Judge.

In this case, we must determine whether an epileptic, who controls his disability with medication, can maintain an employment discrimination action without showing he satisfied his employer’s expectations or showing favorable treatment of non-disabled employees by the employer. We hold that such an individual can present a prima facie case of employment discrimination and therefore should survive a motion for summary judgment.

We will reverse the judgment of the district court as to this claim and remand for further proceedings.
