Bee Reporter’s Appeal Nixed
Sponsored by:
A federal appeals court has ruled against a former reporter at The Fresno Bee who suffered a repetitive
stress injury and could no longer type.
The Ninth U-S Court of Appeals says Jacalyn Thornton is not disabled under the Americans with Disabilities
Act.
One judge disagreed, saying Thornton was substantially limited in being able to use a computer and meets the requirements of the Act.
