Jensen

MEMORANDUM

From 1992 until 1995, plaintiff-appellant Nanette Jensen worked as a customer service representative for defendant-appellee GTE Northwest, Inc. (“GTE”). In early 1994, Jensen began suffering severe back pain due to a degenerative disc disease, a form of arthritis. She sought a series of workstation modifications, medical leave, and part-time work options from GTE in order to accommodate her disability. Jensen eventually brought suit in state court alleging that GTE failed to reasonably accommodate her disability in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and the Washington Law Against Discrimination (“WLAD”). She also brought claims of negligent infliction of emotional distress and the intentional tort of outrage. Following removal, the district court granted summary judgment in favor of GTE on ah claims. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . Jensen’s claims were dismissed on summary judg *780 ment; therefore, we must view the evidence in the light most favorable to her and ascertain whether there are any genuine issues of material fact such that a reasonable jury could return a verdict for Jensen.
