On December 20, 1994, the U.S. Department of Justice ("D.O.J.") filed a lawsuit under the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 12111 et. seq. ("ADA"), against the City of Slidell's Department of Parks and Recreation in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Louisiana. The D.O.J. sought injunctive relief, specifically requesting that the defendant be required to reasonably accommodate employees with disabilities and that an employee of the defendant on whose behalf the lawsuit was filed, be given compensatory damages for the alleged discrimination.
The D.O.J. alleged that the defendant failed to reasonably accommodate the employee's chronic knee condition and that the defendant terminated the employee's employment without first discussing whether the employee could continue his job with the condition.
On January 18, 1995, the district court (Judge Okla Jones) entered a consent decree signed by both parties.
We have no further information on this case.
