Rodgers v. Lehman
Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Decided March 9, 1989No. Nos. 88-2028, 88-2842 and 88-2848PublishedCited by 37 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
MOTZ, District Judge.
These two appeals raise the question of the procedure which a government agency must follow in reasonably accommodating an employee’s alcoholism under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. In No. 88-2028 the District Court ruled in favor of the agency; in No. 88-2842 the District Court ruled in favor of the employee. 679 F.Supp. 1393. We find that both plaintiffs were improperly denied the opportunity to obtain inpatient treatment and that they should therefore be reinstated to the positions from which they were discharged.
