Joseph C. Stephens v. Norfolk and Western Railway Company
811 F.2d 286
6th Cir.1986Check Treatment*287 ORDER
Pursuant to suggestions made in a petition for en banc in this proceeding it is hereby ordered and directed that the Clerk enter as an amendment to the opinion issued on June 9, 1986,
9. This case does not involve discharge or discrimination against Stephens because of a handicap, and it does not in any way conflict with Colorado Anti-Discrimination Commission v. Continental Airlines,372 U.S. 714 [83 S.Ct. 1022 ,10 L.Ed.2d 84 ] (1963). There are three issues to be decided in this case. First, whether the physical examination was legitimate. Second, whether Stephens could pass the examination. Third, if, as the trial court held, Stephen’s complaint failed to state a claim on which relief could be granted under the Handicapper’s Act, whether Stephen’s unsuccessful attempt to rely on that Act could take his claim outside the exclusive jurisdiction of the NRAB.
