Outcome
Summary judgment granted in favor of Walmart and Gloria Taylor. The court found that Walmart provided reasonable accommodations for Daniels's disabilities (cancer, anxiety, depression) by modifying her schedule and offering alternative positions, and that Daniels's disciplinary actions and termination were based on legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons (intemperate behavior toward customers and associates), not on her disability or age.
