EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION,
Plaintiff,
v.
WESTERN DISTRIBUTING CO.,
Defendant.
ORDER DENYING EEOC’S AMENDED MOTION
FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT
In this case, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC” or
“Plaintiff”) sues Western Distributing Company (“Western” or “Defendant”) on behalf of
57 aggrieved individuals, alleging a pattern or practice of discrimination against
employees with disabilities, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101, et seq., (“ADA”).
Before the Court is EEOC’s Amended Motion for Partial Summary Judgment
(ECF No. 823) (“Motion”), in which Plaintiff seeks summary judgment with respect to its
Disparate Treatment Claims, six allegedly discriminatory qualification standards relating
to its Disparate Impact Claim, and Defendant’s affirmative defense of undue hardship as
to four allegedly reasonable accommodations.1 (ECF No. 823 at 7.)
Throughout this Order, the Court will refer to the “Disparate Treatment Claims,”
corresponding with Issues 1 and 2 as discussed in Section I, and the “Disparate Impact Claim,”
corresponding with Issue 4 as discussed in Section I.

I. BIFURCATION ORDER2
Prior to this action being reassigned to the undersigned, trial and discovery were
bifurcated into two phases in the July 27, 2018, Memorandum and Order issued by
United States District Judge Lewis T. Babcock (ECF No. 166) (“Bifurcation Order”). Per
the Bifurcation Order:
During Phase I of the trial, the EEOC shall have the burden
to demonstrate that Defendant has a pattern or practice of
unlawful discrimination, and if so, whether the alleged
pattern or practice of discrimination was done with malice or
reckless disregard for the federally-protected rights of
employees with disabilities. If it is found that the alleged
pattern or practice of discrimination was done with malice or
reckless disregard for the federally-protected rights of
employees with disabilities, an advisory amount of punitive
damages shall be awarded. In Phase I, it will also be
decided whether Defendant’s policies were a standard,
criteria, or were administered in a manner that has the effect
of discrimination on the basis of disability.3
(ECF No. 166 at 17–18.)
In the Final Pretrial Order (ECF No. 808), Plaintiff provides a more detailed
description of the issues that, pursuant to Judge Babcock’s Bifurcation Order, are to be
decided by the jury in the course of the Phase I trial:
(1) Whether Defendant engaged in a pattern or practice of
denying reasonable accommodation to qualified individuals
with disabilities, in violation of Sections 102(a) and
102(b)(5)(A) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12112(a) and (b)(5)(A);
(2) Whether Defendant engaged in a pattern or practice of
denying employment opportunities to qualified individuals
with disabilities because of their disabilities or perceived

determining whether it is appropriate to order any prospective relief based upon the jury’s
finding.” (ECF No. 166 at 18.)

disabilities, or because of the need to provide reasonable
accommodation, in violation of Sections 102(a) and
102(b)(5)(B) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. § 12112(a) and (b)(5)(B);
(3) If a pattern or practice of discrimination is found, whether
the pattern or practice of discrimination was done with
malice or reckless disregard for the federally-protected rights
of employees with disabilities. If it is found that the alleged
pattern or practice of discrimination was done with malice or
reckless disregard for the federally-protected rights of
employees with disabilities, an advisory amount of punitive
damages shall be awarded[; and]
(4) Whether Defendant used discriminatory standards,
criteria, or methods of administration that have the effect of
discriminating on the basis of disability, or used qualification
standards, employment tests, or other selection criteria that
screen out or tend to screen out an individual with a disability
or a class of individuals with disabilities, in violation of
Sections 102(b)(3) and (b)(6) of the ADA, 42 U.S.C. §§
12112(b)(3) and (b)(6).4
(ECF No. 808 at 6–7) (the “Phase I Issues”). The Court finds this distillation and
description of the Phase I Issues to be accurate and helpful and, therefore, adopts it as
modified herein for the purposes of this Order, its forthcoming Order on Defendant’s
Corrected Amended Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 821), and the Phase I
trial set to begin on January 9, 2023.5
II. STANDARD OF REVIEW
Summary judgment is warranted under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56 “if the
movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is

Plaintiff includes a fifth Phase I Issue relating to prospective relief. (ECF No. 808 at 7.)
Because this issue will be decided by the Court based on the jury’s findings and is not the
subject of Plaintiff’s Amended Motion for Partial Summary Judgment, it will not be discussed
further in this Order.

entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a); see also Anderson v.
Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248–50 (1986). A fact is “material” if, under the
relevant substantive law, it is essential to proper disposition of the claim. Wright v.
Abbott Labs., Inc., 259 F.3d 1226, 1231–32 (10th Cir. 2001). An issue is “genuine” if
the evidence is such that it might lead a reasonable trier of fact to return a verdict for the
nonmoving party. Allen v. Muskogee, 119 F.3d 837, 839 (10th Cir. 1997).
In analyzing a motion for summary judgment, a court must view the evidence and
all reasonable inferences therefrom in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.
Adler v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 144 F.3d 664, 670 (10th Cir. 1998) (citing Matsushita
Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986)). In addition, the
Court must resolve factual ambiguities against the moving party, thus favoring the right
to a trial. See Houston v. Nat’l Gen. Ins. Co., 817 F.2d 83, 85 (10th Cir. 1987).
III. MATERIAL FACTS6
Since at least 2007, Defendant’s employee manual has contained two policies in
the section relating to workers’ compensation: (1) that in order to return to work from a
non-life-threatening injury, an employee must bring a physician report to their supervisor
that “must state that [the employee] can return to full duty or that [the employee is]
“discharged” before [the employee] can return to work at full duty; and (2) that if the
employee is “not able to return at the end of the twelve-week period, [the employee] will
be replace in [their] position and [their] employment with the company will be
terminated.” (ECF No. 822-10 at 24; ECF No. 823 at 46.) Plaintiff refers to these
The following factual summary is based predominantly on the parties’ briefs on the
Motion for Summary Judgment and documents submitted in support thereof. Facts disputed by
the parties are noted as such.
6
4
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 5 of 15
policies as the “full-duty” and “maximum-leave” policies, respectively, and the Court
adopts this nomenclature. (ECF No. 823 at 7.) Two additional relevant policies—the
return-to-work policy and the reasonable-accommodation policy—were added to the
employee manual in 2015. (ECF No. 871 at 28; ECF No. 842-2; ECF No. 842-3.)
The parties disagree as to both the existence and nature of the full-duty and
maximum-leave policies. Plaintiff asserts these “interrelated policies” were applied by
Western beyond the workers’ compensation context, are per se discriminatory, and their
enforcement constitutes a pattern-or-practice of discrimination against people with
disabilities. (ECF No. 823 at 7.) Defendant argues Plaintiff seizes upon out-of-context
policy language, and the full-duty and maximum-leave policies as “imagined” by Plaintiff
never existed. ECF No. 847 at 46–47.) Employees at third-party medical and
insurance companies that worked closely with Defendant testified in their depositions
that they understood Defendant’s employment practices did not accommodate medical
restrictions. (ECF No. 823 at 43.) And managers at Defendant testified that there were
no exceptions to the 12-week hard cap on leave. (Id.) Those same managers also
testified that Defendant had informal practices of providing reasonable accommodations
to employees with disabilities during the relevant period. (ECF No. 847 at 6.)
According to Defendant, those pre-existing, informal practices were merely
memorialized when the written return-to-work and reasonable-accommodation policies
were added to the employee handbook in 2015. (Id. at 9.)
Defendant uses third-party company ErgoMed to assess the physical capacity of
prospective drivers before they begin work. (ECF No. 847 at 2.) Both applicants and
current employees that have been on leave due to injury must submit to ErgoMed’s
5
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 6 of 15
testing before driving for Defendant. (See id.; ECF No. 823 at 20.) Relevant to this
Order are four physical tests developed and administered by ErgoMed: (1) a 50-pound
lift-and-carry test; (2) a 132-pound lifting test; (3) a 130-pound static push/pull test; and
(4) a 76-pound push test. (Id. at 65, 70.) Plaintiff asserts that Defendant hired ErgoMed
to develop these tests so that it could screen drivers with pre-existing conditions,
thereby reducing the likelihood that its employees would be hurt on the job and reducing
workers compensation costs. (Id. at 19–20.) Defendant asserts that the tests
accurately assess drivers’ ability to perform the very physical work required of
commercial motor vehicle operators and protects the community from drivers unable to
safely perform their duties. (ECF 847 at 17.)
IV. ANALYSIS
A.
Full-Duty and Maximum-Leave Policies
The EEOC contends that Defendant maintained two interrelated, discriminatory
employment policies to the detriment of both employees and applicants with disabilities.
(ECF No. 823 at 40.) The “full-duty policy” allegedly required employees to receive a
“full duty” or “no restrictions” medical clearance before returning to or beginning work.
(See id. at 42–43.) The “maximum-leave policy” allegedly limits employee leave to
twelve weeks and provides for automatic termination if employees cannot return to work
(consistent with the full-duty policy) after 12 weeks. (Id. at 46–47.) These policies, the
existence of which Plaintiff argues is indisputable, form the basis of the Disparate
Treatment Claims and are two of the thirteen discriminatory standards, criteria, or
methods of administration that form the basis of the Disparate Impact Claim.

1.
Genuine Issues of Material Fact Preclude Summary Judgment on Issues
Based on the Full-Duty Policy
Predictably, the parties paint starkly contrasting views of Defendant’s alleged fullduty policy.
In the EEOC’s view, Defendant has a written full-duty policy that was included “in
black and white, time and time again, in every [employee policy] manual issued since at
least 2009.” (Id. at 42.) Before an injured employee could return to work under the
policy, the employee’s “physician report must state that [the employee] can return to full
duty or that [the employee is] ‘discharged’ before [the employee] can return to work at
full duty.” (ECF 822-10 at 24; ECF No. 823 at 42–43.) Plaintiff argues that, in practice,
“full duty” means “no restrictions.” (ECF No. 823 at 43–45.) In other words, the full-duty
policy is the kind of “100% healed” or “fully healed” policy courts have “consistently”
found violate the ADA because they foreclose even the consideration of reasonable
accommodations for employees or applicants with disabilities. (Id. at 45–46.) Such
100% healed policies are per se discriminatory, and Plaintiff argues the full-duty policy
was regularly enforced by Defendant. (Id. at 46.)
Defendant forcefully maintains it does not have a full-duty policy. (ECF No. 847
at 46.) First, Defendant points out that that policy language Plaintiff cites as the basis of
the alleged full-duty policy is contained within its workers’ compensation policy. (Id. at
47.) It argues that this policy language is unrelated to providing reasonable
accommodations to employees with disabilities and that, in practice, it allowed “many”
employees to return to work with restrictions. (Id. at 47.) And it further contends that its
practice of offering or providing reasonable accommodations is “inconsistent with the
existence of a 100%-healed policy.” (Id. (quoting Gardenhire v. Manville, 722 F. App’x
7
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 8 of 15
835, 840 (10th Cir. 2018)).) Western also argues its policies and practices merely
require employees returning to or beginning work to be able to perform the essential
functions of the jobs they were hired to perform. (Id. at 50–51.) Further, Defendant’s
written return-to-work and reasonable-accommodation policies “dispel the notion” that it
has a 100% healed policy. (Id. 48–49.)
The parties’ irreconcilable positions are not legal disputes; they are rooted in an
extensive factual record containing voluminous and sometimes conflicting evidence.
The parties’ submissions on the Motion demonstrate that making any finding with
respect to the existence and discriminatory nature of the full-duty policy requires
weighing this conflicting evidence to determine, among other things, the importance,
weight, credibility, and persuasive value, to assign to such evidence. These
determinations are the exclusive province of the jury.
Among the conflicting evidence creating a genuine dispute as to these material
facts, which must be evaluated by the jury, is the following:
•
Testimony from Defendant’s managers and third parties that worked
closely with Defendant as to the meaning of the phrase “full duty” and
whether employees could return to work with restrictions (ECF No. 823 at
43–44);
•
Business records evidencing that Defendant’s employment practices
were either in accord with (id. at 44) or contrary to (ECF No. 847 at 52) a
100% healed policy; and
•
Defendant’s additional return-to-work and reasonable-accommodation
policies and testimony from Defendant’s managers regarding whether
8
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 9 of 15
these policies merely memorialized existing informal practices (id. at 9) or
were created from whole cloth after this matter7 had begun (ECF No. 871
at 18) (critically, consideration of this evidence requires the paradigmatic
jury function of assessing witness credibility).
It is important to understand in this regard that this list is merely illustrative, and well
short of exhaustive.
Given these key factual disputes, the Court easily finds there are genuine
disputes of material fact as to the existence and nature of Defendant’s alleged full-duty
policy. As such, Plaintiff is not entitled to judgment as a matter of law, and the Motion is
denied with respect to Plaintiff’s Disparate Treatment and Disparate Impact claims of
disability discrimination, insofar as they are predicated on the existence and application
of a purported full-duty policy.
2.
Genuine Issues of Material Fact Preclude Summary Judgment on Issues
Based on the Maximum-Leave Policy
As with the full-duty policy, the parties have very dissimilar views of the facts
relating to the alleged maximum-leave policy.
Plaintiff asserts Defendant “repeatedly stated” the maximum-leave policy in its
employee policy manual “from 2007 to the present.” (ECF No. 823 at 46.) The policy
provides that if an employee is “not able to return at the end of the twelve-week period”
of leave, the employee’s “employment with the company will be terminated.” (ECF No.
822-10 at 24; ECF No. 823 at 46.) Prior to 2015, the policy manual “never included any
language suggesting that exceptions would be made to reasonably accommodate
These policies were added to Defendant’s employee handbook in 2015. (ECF No. 871
at 28.) This civil action was filed in 2016, however, the initial charge of discrimination was filed
on August 5, 2009 (ECF No. 550-1 at 2.)
7
9
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 10 of
15
disabilities.” (ECF No. 823 at 46–47.) Plaintiff asserts the evidence shows there were
in fact “no exceptions” to this policy, and Defendant regularly terminated employees via
mail without “considering reasonable accommodations for the individual or conducting
the individualized assessment required under the ADA.” (Id. 47–49.) Plaintiff argues
Defendant’s pattern of failing to engage in the interactive process with employees it
knew had disabilities who had requested accommodation violates the ADA. (Id. at 49–
57.)
Western maintains it does not have a maximum-leave policy. (ECF No. 847 at
40.) As with the alleged full-duty policy, it argues that the language Plaintiff seizes on is
found in the section of Defendant’s employee policy manual dealing with workers’
compensation and is unrelated to its ADA policies or practices. (See ECF No. 822-10 at
24.) Defendant argues that it has always “made leave decisions on a case-by-case
basis as is required by the ADA” and its human resources employees’ unfamiliarity with
the legal term of art “interactive process” does not transform its legal employment
practices into a pattern or practice of discrimination. (ECF No. 847 at 55.)
In Defendant’s view, it has a legal leave policy providing the 12 weeks of leave
mandated by the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2601, et seq.
(“FMLA”), which must be read in conjunction with its other policies that provide for
reasonable accommodations for employees or applicants with disabilities. (Id. at 55–
56.) According to Defendant, it is only because Plaintiff insists on considering the
alleged maximum-leave policy devoid of context that it can mistake Defendant’s legal
policies and practices for an unlawful pattern or practice of discrimination. (ECF No.
847 at 57–59.)
10
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 11 of
15
Like the parties’ contrary views of the full-duty policy, their irreconcilable
positions on the alleged maximum-leave policy are rooted in the voluminous record and
conflicting evidence. The briefs of the parties make clear that making any finding with
respect to the existence and discriminatory nature of the maximum-leave policy requires
weighing this conflicting evidence in the manner described previously. In the context of
these material factual disputes, this undertaking is reserved exclusively for the jury.
Among the conflicting evidence creating a genuine dispute as to these material
facts, which must be evaluated by the jury, are the following:
•
Representations by Defendant that its “policy and practice is to
automatically discharge employees who are not able to return to work
after 12 weeks of FMLA” (ECF No. 823 at 47);
•
Testimony from Defendant’s managers, particularly former HR Director
Jennifer Maddox, regarding the existence of a practice of communicating
with and potentially accommodating employees returning to work from
injury predating the 2015 addition of the return-to-work and reasonableaccommodation policies to Defendant’s policy manual (ECF No. 847 at
55);
•
Conflicting earlier testimony from Maddox in which she confirmed that
there were no exceptions to the maximum-leave policy (ECF No. 823 at
47);
•
Documentary evidence tending to show that Defendant enforced the
maximum-leave policy (ECF No. 823 at 47–48); and
•
Evidence that certain employees in fact were provided accommodations in
11
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 12 of
15
the form of extended leave or light-duty work upon returning to work (ECF
No. 847 at 57–59).
Again, this list is illustrative and not intended to be exhaustive.
Given these factual disputes, the Court finds there are genuine disputes of
material fact as to the existence and nature of Defendant’s alleged maximum-leave
policy. As such, Plaintiff is not entitled to judgment as a matter of law, and the Motion is
denied with respect to Plaintiff’s Disparate Treatment and Disparate Impact claims of
disability discrimination, insofar as they are predicated on the existence and application
of a purported maximum-leave policy.
B.
Disparate Impact of Other Qualification Standards, Employment Tests, or
Selection Criteria
Plaintiff argues Defendant’s use of thirteen unlawful qualification standards,
employment tests, or selection criteria has a disparate impact on employees and
applicants with disabilities. (See ECF No. 808 at 14.) Of these thirteen, it seeks
summary judgment with respect to six—the full-duty and maximum-leave policies,
discussed above and as to which the Court has already denied summary judgment on
Plaintiff’s Disparate Impact Claim of discrimination, and four physical tests “used and
administered to further its full-duty policy.”8 (ECF No. 823 at 1, 64.) The four physical
test are: (1) the 50-pound lift-and-carry test for over-the-road (“OTR”), United States
Armored Company (“USAC”), Local, and Yard Hostler drivers; (2) the 132-pound lifting
test for all Western Towing and Recovery (“Towing”) drivers; (3) the 130-pound static
push/pull tests for OTR, USAC, Local, and Yard Hostler drivers; and (4) the 76-pound
Plaintiff references “five qualification standards” in the Motion; however, by the Court’s
count, the Motion requests summary judgment with respect to six.
8
12
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 13 of
15
push test for Towing drivers. (ECF No. 823 at 65, 70.)
In Plaintiff’s view, these physical tests were used as a screening tool to deny
employment to drivers with existing medical conditions. (Id.) In practice, the physical
tests had the effect of “adversely impact[ing] several individuals with disabilities.” (Id. at
65.) Specifically, Plaintiff identifies several individuals with disabilities who were either
denied employment or not rehired based on their inability to pass the tests. (Id. at 65,
70–71.) In Plaintiff's view, “the causal relationship between the [physical tests] and the
impact on individuals with disabilities is straightforward.” (Id. at 72.)
In Defendant’s view, the physical tests are not discriminatory. Further,
Defendant argues that Plaintiff has failed to show that the physical tests had a disparate
impact on employees or applicants with disabilities. (ECF No. 847 at 67.)
After reviewing the parties’ arguments, the Court concludes that there are
genuine disputes of material fact that preclude summary judgment on the Disparate
Impact Claim with respect to the four physical tests. Among the conflicting evidence
creating a genuine dispute as to these material facts, which must be evaluated by the
jury, are the following:
•
Evidence of five individuals who were denied OTR positions due to lifting
restrictions (ECF No. 823 at 66) and the lack of evidence with respect to
the other driving positions for which Plaintiff challenges the lifting tests
(ECF No. 847 at 69); and
•
Evidence tending to show that drivers with very low lifting requirements
would not be unable to obtain DOT certification (id. at 70).
In addition to these facts, the jury may be presented with evidence that is currently the
13
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 14 of
15
subject of the EEOC’s Motion in Limine to Exclude Western’s Proposed Testimony
and/or Exhibits (ECF No. 976.) The Court emphasizes that it has neither considered
nor ruled on Plaintiff’s motion in limine, and the parties should not glean anything about
the Court’s views on the merits of that motion from this Order. If the Court denies
Plaintiff’s motion in limine, the jury may also be presented with and asked to consider
evidence tending to show that only 30 of 1,063 individuals tested by ErgoMed over a
10-year period received a “no-match job recommendation.” (ECF No. 847 at 69.) And
of those 30 individuals, only five received such a recommendation because they were
unable to complete one of the physical tests. (Id.)
Given these key factual disputes, set forth for illustrative purposes only, the Court
finds there are genuine disputes of material fact as to the disparate impact of the four
physical tests on which Plaintiff seeks summary judgment. As a result, Plaintiff is not
entitled to judgment as a matter of law on this theory of discrimination, and the Motion is
denied with respect to the Disparate Impact Claims.
C.
Undue Hardship
Plaintiff seeks summary judgment on Defendant’s undue hardship affirmative
defense with respect to four allegedly reasonable accommodations, arguing Defendant
failed to produce evidence from which a reasonable trier of fact could find that such
accommodations would cause an undue hardship. (ECF No. 823 at 74.) Given that the
Court has already determined that Plaintiff is not entitled to summary judgment on any
of the theories or claims of discrimination that are the subject of the Motion, the Court
need not at this juncture of the proceedings take up the issue of whether it should, or
should not, determine as a matter of law that Defendant cannot prove its affirmative
defense.
14
Case 1:16-cv-01727-WJM-STV Document 1026 Filed 12/21/22 USDC Colorado Page 15 of
15
Therefore, the Motion is denied with respect to Defendant’s undue hardship
affirmative defense, without prejudice to it being raised at trial, if appropriate.
V. CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, the EEOC’s Amended Motion for Partial Summary
Judgment (ECF No. 823) is DENIED.
Dated this 21st day of December, 2022.
