Tenth Circuit: Hampton v. Utah Department of Corrections

 A preexisting disability-neutral list of approved firearms for correctional peace officers cannot be the sole basis for denying a disability-related request to use another type of firearm. The request was plausible and facially reasonable.

Claim of instructions to delay accommodation requests until after initial probationary period does not present an issue for trial as to the existence of a discriminatory policy. A claim that accommodation requests "generally filter up" to the decisionmaker does not, standing alone, present a genuine issue for trial as to whether the decisionmaker was aware of the request.

Court did not abuse discretion in refusing to allow plaintiff to testify about the disability as an expert, given lack of proof of reliable scientific methodology.
