4719 REVIEW DENIED A plaintiff whose alleged physical condition interferes with soccer playing, but not with any major life activity, does not have a physical disability as defined by Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA); an armored car company's proof that an employee's connection with incidents involving missing money caused it to lose confidence in the employee is sufficient evidence of a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the employee's termination to eliminate a presumption of discriminatory or retaliatory intent, shifting to the employee the burden of showing the proffered reason is pretextual; an employee's proof that he was terminated soon after making a workers' compensation claim helps to establish a prima facie case of discrimination and retaliation, but does not rebut defendant's evidence of a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the termination.CitationARTEAGA v BRINK'S (Missing Money) 163 CA4 327 [See: GovC 12900 etseq; LabC 132a; McDonnell Douglas v Green 411 US 792; Sada v RFK Med Ctr 56 CA4 138, T/AT 8/97]
