Kincaid v. City of Omaha

Submitted: March 8, 2004 Laura Kincaid (""Kincaid"") worked as a Detention Supervisor at the City of Omaha jail. In 2000, she suffered a job-related injury that prevented her from working. While on leave, Kincaid expressed interest in a promotion, which she did not receive. She later returned to work and sustained another injury. After the City of Omaha (""City"") again denied her the promotion, Kincaid filed this lawsuit, alleging discrimination in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (""ADA""), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and 42 U.S.C. § 1981. The district court1 found that Kincaid made out a prima facie case of race and disability discrimination but failed to offer evidence to rebut the City's legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for its employment actions. The district court therefore granted summary judgment in favor of the City. We affirm. I. BACKGROUND
