From 1999 to 2010, plaintiff Anthony White was employed as a custodial supervisor at Los Angeles World Airports. He ultimately resigned from his position in 2010. White sued Los Angeles World Airports, a department of the city of Los Angeles. White further named his supervisor at Los Angeles World Airports, Bill Hartranft, and three directors at Los Angeles World Airports, Russell Lewis, Ralph Morones and Robert Haines. White brought causes of action for retaliation, harassment based on disability, discrimination based on disability, failure to accommodate disabilities, failure to engage in the interactive process, and failure to prevent discrimination. Hartranft, Lewis, Morones and Haines were never served, and they were dismissed from the case prior to trial. White contended Los Angeles World Airports unlawfully failed to return him to the day shift, which he held prior to a 22-month medical leave of absence, and further failed to renew his security badge, and initiated termination proceedings against the plaintiff. White also claimed Los Angeles World Airports failed to accommodate his disabilities because Los Angeles World Airports refused to transfer him to a day shift custodial supervisor position, which was recommended by his doctors. After the plaintiff rested his case, defense counsel’s motion for nonsuit was granted as to White’s claims of retaliation and harassment. Thus, White proceeded against Los Angeles World Airports on the remaining causes of action. Counsel for Los Angeles World Airports disputed White’s allegations, and argued that the actions of Los Angeles World Airports were all motivated by legitimate, non-discriminatory and non-retaliatory reasons, including complying with U.S. Transportation Security Authority (TSA) regulations. Counsel also argued that TSA regulations prevented Los Angeles World Airports from providing White with a security badge after he pled guilty to felony identity theft and forgery. In addition, counsel for Los Angeles World Airports argued that White’s own testimony confirmed that Los Angeles World Airports met with White and attempted to obtain additional information regarding White’s specific limitations, so that Los Angeles World Airports could assess the universe of available accommodations, if White qualified for a reasonable accommodation. However, counsel for Los Angeles World Airports contended that White refused to provide the requested information demonstrating any limitations White might have had, and ceased all contact with Los Angeles World Airports Human Resources personnel. Thus, counsel argued that Los Angeles World Airports did not fail to reasonably accommodate White’s disabilities., White claimed $28,182.39 in lost wages for the time period he was not permitted to work, due to Los Angeles World Airports’ refusal to issue him a security badge. He also sought damages for his emotional distress. Counsel for Los Angeles World Airports argued that White resigned from his position and was not entitled to any damages.
