MORBIDLY OBESE MAN BRINGS ADA CLAIM
 
 
A 350 pound man was the most qualified candidate. Nonetheless, he was not hired by L.A. Weight Loss Centers Inc. because the company is "image conscious." The Court found that the applicant was not protected by the ADA because he was not regarded as unable to perform a wide range of tasks.
