Myrna Parayno v. John Potter

MEMORANDUM

Myrna U. Parayno appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in her employment action alleging failure to accommodate her disability, race and national origin discrimination, and retaliation under the Rehabilitation Act and Title VII. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo. Vasquez v. County of Los Angeles, 349 F.3d 634, 639 (9th Cir.2004). We may affirm on any ground supported by the record, Thompson v. Paul, 547 F.3d 1055, 1058-59 (9th Cir.2008), and we affirm.

Summary judgment was properly granted on Parayno’s failure to accommodate claim because Parayno failed to raise a genuine dispute of material fact as to whether defendant reasonably accommodated her disability. See Buckingham v. United States, 998 F.2d 735, 739 (9th Cir.1993) (discussing an employer’s duty to accommodate under the Rehabilitation Act); see also Zivkovic v. S. Cal. Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1089 (9th Cir.2002) (“An ‘employer is not obligated to provide an employee the accommodation he requests or prefers, the employer need only provide some reasonable accommodation.’ ” (citation omitted)); Kennedy v. Allied Mut. Ins. Co., 952 F.2d 262, 266 (9th Cir.1991)…
