  • Second Circuit: In reversing summary judgment for employer on ADA claim, the court held that the inability to sit for prolonged periods may constitute a substantial limitation on a major life activity, depending on the circumstances
  • Fifth Circuit: The court followed the following burden-shifting approach from the recently adopted HUD regulations for claims of disparate impact under the FHA: first, a plaintiff must prove a prima facie case of discrimination by showing that a challenged practice causes a discriminatory effect; the defendant must then prove “that the challenged practice is necessary to achieve one or more substantial, legitimate, nondiscriminatory interests; the plaintiff must then show that the defendant’s interests “could be served by another practice that has a less discriminatory effect”
