In determining whether a genuine issue of the material fact whether a genuine issue of material fact occurs regarding the reasonableness of the requested accommodation, we first examine whether Turners facial presenting that her proposed accommodation is possible.

The ALJ was free to find Draper’s opinions more credible than Fanchetti’s “conclusory” assessment.
