Narrative Opinion Summary
Michelle Parham's appeal against the district court's dismissal of her discrimination complaint under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been affirmed. The appellate court found no reversible error in the district court's ruling, which was articulated in the case Parham v. Mid Atlantic Baking Co., No. 1:11-cv-00185-WDQ, 2011 WL 4527311 (D.Md. Sept. 26, 2011). The court decided against oral argument, concluding that the existing record sufficiently presented the facts and legal issues for resolution. The affirmation is based on the district court's reasoning, and the unpublished nature of the opinion indicates it does not serve as binding precedent in the circuit.
