Wilson v. Dalton
Opinion
Lead Opinion
*778 MEMORANDUM *
Robert C. Wilson (Wilson) sued the Navy under the Rehabilitation Act. 1 He appeals the district court’s partial summary judgment for the Navy, arguing that he raised a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the Navy reasonably accommodated his carpal tunnel syndrome. Wilson also appeals the district court’s denial of his motion for a new trial on his retaliation claim, arguing that the district court erred in ordering him to undergo a mental examination. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and affirm the district court.

Wilson likens this case to Barnett v. U.S. Air, Inc., 2 and claims that the Navy did not act in good faith. 3 However, unlike the plaintiff in Barnett, Wilson produced no evidence that the Navy failed to seek a dialogue or communicate with Wilson, otherwise ignored him, or summarily rejected his accommodation requests without offering alternatives. 4 In contrast, the Navy produced evidence that it had met with Wilson, requested information about his conditions and limitations, asked him what he wanted, considered his requests, and offered and discussed alternatives.
