Heading: Accommodation and the Interactive Process

Text: 40 Finally, Echazabal contends that Chevron failed adequately to address its duty to accommodate Echazabal and to initiate an interactive process prior to terminating his position. Echazabal, however, did not raise this issue in the district court in opposition to Chevron's motion for summary judgment, and we decline to consider it here. See Bolker v. Comm'r, 760 F.2d 1039, 1042 (9th Cir.1985) (stating that, subject to limited exceptions, we will not consider an issue raised for the first time on appeal). Moreover, it is unnecessary to address this issue in the absence of an opportunity for the district court to address it, given that the grant of summary judgment must be reversed.
