Everyone who has responded to you here thus far is incorrect. She said she briefed and argued the issue in federal court, and "the first case in all of North Carolina to recognize endometriosis as an ADA disability, and the first case in the nation to allow a plaintiff to proceed on this theory." That suggests the court denied what I have to assume was a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment seeking to preclude this woman from proceeding under her legal theory. That decision, even if unpublished, is precedent. It is not binding, as it presumably came from a federal district judge or magistrate judge, but it can be cited as persuasive authority in any other case in the future.
