Whether a severe physical condition that can prevent breathing and be life-threatening is considered a disability under the law, in conflict with other circuit courts
QUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW 1) Did the court of appeals decide that a severe physical condition, one that can prevent breathing and be life-threatening is not a disability under the law in conflict with the 10", 7" and 4" circuits so as to require clarification with regard to an impairment from which many suffer? 2) Did the court of appeals decide that judges and administrators may decide about such a medical matter without medical knowledge or input as if they were doctors in conflict with the 7" circuit so as to require clarification about such a practice? 3) Did the court of appeals decide upon the doctrine of relation back before the EEOC in conflict with important controlling precedent from this Court? 4) Did the court of appeals sanctify reliance upon precedent from this Court which Congress specifically repealed so as to create conflicts with required circuit precedents so as to create an issue which this Court should clarify?
