Trotter

MEMORANDUM **

Adam Trotter appeals pro se from the district court’s summary judgment in favor of defendant in his action alleging discrimination and retaliation in violation of Title VII and the Rehabilitation Act. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 . We review de novo. Coons v. Sec’y of the U.S. Dep’t of the Treasury, 383 F.3d 879, 884 (9th Cir.2004). We affirm.

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Trotter’s discrimination claims because he failed to rebut defendant’s evidence that the requested accommodation would be an undue hardship to the defendant. See U.S. Airways, Inc. v. Barnett, 535 U.S. 391, 401-02, 122 S.Ct. 1516 , 152 L.Ed.2d 589 (2002).

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Trotter’s retaliation claims because he failed to show a causal connection between his request for an accommodation and the adverse employment decision. See Coons, 383 F.3d at 887-88 . The record shows that disciplinary action against Trotter began before he first requested an accommodation, and Trotter concedes that his repeated absences caused his termination.

We grant in part defendant’s motion to strike attachments to Trotter’s opening…
