District court’s dismissal on summary judgment of plaintiff’s claims of employment retaliation and violations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is affirmed where: 1) plaintiff failed to show he provided adequate notice to his employer that he had a serious health condition rendering him unable to work; 2) plaintiff’s claim that defendant interfered with his FMLA rights by demoting him for unexcused absences must fail; 3) plaintiff’s retaliation claim fails for the same reasons as his interference claim.
