Heading: Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992

Text: Given the parallel structure of the statutes, this Court analyzes state-law disability discrimination claims under the FCRA using the same framework as it does for claims made under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Samson v. Fed. Exp. Corp., 746 F.3d 1196, 1200 n. 2 (11th Cir. 2014); see Holly v. Clairson Indus., LLC, 492 F.3d 1247, 1255 (11th Cir. 2007). To prevail on a failure to accommodate claim under the FCRA, D’Onofrio must demonstrate by a preponderance of the evidence that (1) she was a qualified individual with a disability; (2) she made a specific request for a reasonable accommodation; and (3) her employer, Costco, failed to provide a reasonable accommodation, or engage in the requisite interactive process in order to identify a reasonable accommodation. Gaston v. Bellingrath Gardens & Home, Inc., 167 F.3d 1361, 1363 (11th Cir. 1999)
