DGS successfully represented an employer in an appeal brought by a former employee from a federal district court's summary judgment order dismissing the former middle level manager's claims that her employment was terminated because of sex, age and disability discrimination.   DGS attorney David Hammond persuaded the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals to affirm the summary judgment and, in a case of first impression for the Circuit, to hold that granting an employee's request for intermittent leave under the Family and  Medical Leave Act was not tantamount to regarding her as "disabled" within the meaning of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
