Description
Appellant, who is HIV positive, alleges that his former employer, Southwestern Bell ("SWB"), failed to accommodate him as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"). 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. Appellant further alleges that appellee constructively discharged him from the company. The district court found that, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the appellant, there was no triable issue of fact to show: (1) that appellants HIV status qualified him as disabled under the ADA; (2) that appellee failed to offer appellant reasonable accommodation; or (3) that appellee constructively discharged appellant. Because we conclude Blanks was not a qualified individual with a disability for purposes of the ADA, we affirm.
