Fourth Circuit: John Vannoy v. Federal Reserve Bank

FMLA, ADA

Letter to employee regarding the medical leave did not comport with statute, since it didn't mention right to restoration of status.

Assertion of prejudice by plaintiff makes the lack of notice a genuine issue of material fact for the fact-finder at trial.

Plaintiff must make an evidentiary showing of pretext to present a genuine issue where deft has established a bona fide reason for the allegedly retaliatory act.

No equitable basis for ADA claims.
