7th Circuit Court of Appeals

Case Name: Mary Lou Stelter v. Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance Corporation

Case No.: 18-3689

Officials: BAUER, ROVNER, and SYKES, Circuit Judges.

Focus: ADA Violation

This appeal is brought by Mary Lou Stelter against her former employer, Wisconsin Physicians Service Insurance Corporation (“WPS”), for discrimination and retaliation in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”). Alleging she was disabled under the ADA with back pain that was aggravated by an injury at work, Stelter contends WPS discriminated and retaliated against her, failed to accommodate her disability, and ultimately terminated her based on pretext. The record shows Stelter was terminated for a pattern of job absenteeism and deficiency. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of WPS. We affirm.
