Outcome

The Seventh Circuit vacated the district court's dismissal with prejudice and remanded the case for further proceedings, holding that the plaintiff's amended complaint relating to disability discrimination should relate back to the timely-filed original complaint under Rule 15(c), following the precedent established in Luevano v. Walmart Stores, Inc.
