Lequita Nix Hilliard ("Plaintiff") sued Dolgencorp, LLC ("Defendant") alleging discrimination in violation of Tenn. Code Ann. § 8-50-103, of the Tennessee Disability Act, and Tenn. Code Ann. § 4-21-311, of the Tennessee Human Rights Act and retaliatory discharge for filing a worker's compensation claim. The Chancery Court for Polk County ("the Trial Court") granted summary judgment to Defendant. Plaintiff appeals. We find and hold that there is no genuine disputed issue of material fact with regard to the fact that due to her medical restrictions Plaintiff is unable to perform the essential job functions of a store manager. Given this, Defendant was entitled to summary judgment on both of Plaintiff's claims. We, therefore, affirm.
