  1. United States v. Madison Prop.

    22-CV-02831 (JMB/ECW) (D. Minn. Dec. 27, 2024)

    Defendants also invoke the direct-threat defense, arguing that Boucher's requested accommodation was unreasonable because the presence of a cat in the building would cause a direct threat to other residents and Brenner. 42 U.S.C. § 3604(f)(9) (stating that landlords need not make housing “available to an individual whose tenancy would constitute a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals”); see also Bennett v. Hurley Med. Ctr., 86 F.4th 314, 326-30 (6th Cir. 2023) (affirming grant of summary judgment to the defendant (a hospital) on grounds that no reasonable juror could find that defendant failed to provide a reasonable accommodation because the animal in question (a pet dog) posed a direct threat to patients and staff); Gamane v. Laman, No. 1:22-CV-01199-JDB-jay, 2023 WL 4290063 (W.D. Tenn. June 30, 2023) (denying temporary injunction that would have permitted the plaintiff to keep an ESA cat in her unit because the defendant (an assisted living facility) was likely to succeed on the merits of its direct threat defense to the reasonableness of the requested accommodation).
