Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit August 17, 2001, Nos. 99-15253, 00-15625 (Cripe v. City of San Jose)

REINHARDT, Circuit Judge:

The plaintiffs in this consolidated action, San Jose police officers with neck and back injuries that prevent them from serving as patrol officers, contend that the City of San Jose’s policy that categorically restricts the jobs that officers with disabilities can perform to a small number of undesirable positions violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
