The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable
12 Thomas S. Zilly, United States District Judge:
(1)
Defendant Safeway, Inc.’s (“Safeway”) motion for summary judgment,
docket no. 39, is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part. With regard to plaintiff’s
14 claims for disability discrimination and retaliation, Safeway’s motion is DENIED
because disputes of material fact preclude summary judgment. As to plaintiff’s claims
15 for disability-based hostile work environment in violation of the ADA and the WLAD,
and plaintiff’s claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress, Safeway’s motion is
16 GRANTED and the claims are DISMISSED with prejudice. The Court will enter an
Order explaining its decision in the near future.

(2)
The Clerk is directed to send a copy of this Minute Order to all counsel of
record.
