OPINION AND ORDER REGARDING MOTIONS FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
GERALD E. ROSEN, Chief Judge.
I. INTRODUCTION
This action for an alleged violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”) and the Michigan Persons with Disabilities Civil Rights Act (the “PWDCRA”) is presently before the Court on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment. Having reviewed the parties’ briefs, the accompanying exhibits, and the record as a whole, the Court finds that the pertinent facts and legal contentions are [797]*797sufficiently presented in these materials, and that oral argument would-not assist in the resolution of this matter. Accordingly, the Court will decide this matter “on the briefs.” See Eastern District of Michigan Local Rule 7.1(f)(2). This Opinion and Order sets forth the Court’s ruling.
II. PERTINENT FACTS
Commencing with the 2010-2011 school year, the Crestwood School District in Dearborn Heights, Michigan hired Defendant Dean Transportation, Inc. (“Dean”) to provide school bus transportation and maintenance services. As a result of being retained to provide Crestwood’s school bus services, Dean had an opening for a mechanic at the Crestwood garage.
Dean’s maintenance mechanics are responsible for repairing and maintaining the school buses, and are also required from time to. time to drive those buses. Pellerito Decl., p. 1. Accordingly, the mechanic’s job opening required that the successful applicant possess or obtain a Commercial Driver’s Licence (“CDL”) with a School Bus (“S”) and Passenger (“P”) endorsement, and be able to drive school buses on public roads. See Defendant’s Exhibits 3, 4.
Driving is regularly required for purposes of road-testing, trouble shooting, retrieving disabled vehicles and delivering repaired vehicles. Pellerito Decl., at pp. 1-2. Driving the bus for purposes of transporting students is also required, in an emergency situation, when no regular driver or substitute driver is available. Id., p. 2. These driving duties are set forth in the job description. Defendant’s Ex. 3; Pellerito Decl., at p. 2. They are also reflected in the job application, and in the contracts that Dean has with its customers. See Defendant’s Exhibits 4-5; Pellerito Decl., at p. 2. All of these duties entail driving school buses on public roads. Pellerito Decl., p. 2.
Plaintiff Robert Cummings applied for the Dean mechanic’s position at Crestwood in the beginning of September 2010, and was offered the job by Dean’s hiring manager, Scott Pellerito, conditional upon Cummings passing a Department of Transportation physical. Cummings is an insulin-dependent diabetic and Scott Pel-lerito, who wanted to hire Cummings, knew at the time he offered Cummings the job that he was a diabetic. See Pellerito Decl., p; 2; Plaintiffs Dep., pp. 92-93; 113.
Unfortunately for Cummings (and Pel-lerito), the law in Michigan at the time Cummings applied for the job did not allow insulin-dependent diabetics to drive school buses.
CHANGES IN THE MICHIGAN PUPIL TRANSPORTATION ACT
The medical qualification requirements for drivers of commercial vehicles in Michigan are set forth in three sets of statutes and regulations: (1) the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act (“FMCSA”) Regulations, 49 C.F.R. §§ 391.41-391.49; (2) the Michigan Motor Carrier Safety Act (“MMCSA”), M.C.L. §§ 480.12i-480.12k; and (3) the Pupil Transportation Act (“PTA”), M.C.L. §§ 257.1849-257.1853. The FMCSA regulations apply to truck drivers who are driving “interstate”; the MMCSA applies to truck drivers who are driving “intrastate”; and the PTA applies to school bus drivers.
Prior to June 22, 2010, an insulin-dependent diabetic was disqualified from driving a school bus under the PTA unless he could demonstrate that his diabetes was under control. To show that his diabetes was under control, the driver had to submit a “Physician Survey” form completed by his doctor. Upon receipt of the completed Physician Survey, the medical examiner was able to issue a “School Bus [798]*798Driver Certificate of Fitness” (also known as a “blue card”). However, effective June 22, 2010, the PTA was amended to incorporate the medical requirements applicable to drivers of interstate commercial vehicles set forth in the FMCSA regulations, 49 C.F.R. §§ 391.41-391.49. See M.C.L. § 257.1858(l)(b). Pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 391.41(b)(3), an insulin dependent diabetic is not physically qualified to drive a commercial vehicle. Id.1 The amendment, however, provided that a school bus driver with diabetes would not be disqualified pursuant to the requirement of 49 C.F.R. § 391.41(b)(3) if (a) he was already employed as a school bus driver on June 22, 2010, or (b) “[t]he driver of the school bus had been granted a waiver under section 3 of the motor carrier safety act of 1963 PA 181, MCL 480.13.” See M.C.L.A. § 257.1863(b)®, (ii) (West 2010).
Under Section 3 of the MMCSA, M.C.L. § 480.13, the Motor Carrier Safety Appeal Board has the authority to grant applications for waivers from medical requirements of 49 C.F.R. § 391.41. However, when the PTA was amended in June of 2010 to incorporate the requirements of the FMCSA regulations, Section 5 of the MMCSA, stated, “This act and the rules promulgated under this act, do not apply to a school bus as defined in the pupil transportation safety act, 1990 PA 187 MCL 257.1801 to 257.1877....”■ M.C.L. § 480.15(8) (West 2010). Thus, while the Appeal Board had authority to grant waivers for intrastate truck drivers, it did not have authority to issue waivers for school bus drivers. This apparent oversight in the law was not addressed by the Michigan legislature until mid-2011.
On June 29, 2011, a bill was introduced to amend the MMCSA to give the Appeal Board the authority to issue waivers for school bus drivers. According to the House Floor Summary of 2011 PA 156:
The bill [HB 4360] would amend the Motor Carrier Safety Act to make an exception to the provision that the Act does not apply to a school bus under the Pupil Transportation Safety Act. Specifically, the Motor Carrier Safety Act states that the Act and the rules promulgated under it do not apply to a school bus as defined in the Pupil Transportation Safety Act. Under the bill, the Motor Carrier Safety Act and the rules promulgated under it would not apply to a school bus except for the purpose of granting a diabetes-related waiver in accordance with Section 53 of the Pupil Transportation Act (which prescribes minimum qualifications for school bus drivers).
HB 4360, Floor Summary (June 29, 2011) [Defendant’s Ex. 17]; see also Testimony of Nathan Rowen, Member of the Michigan Association for Pupil Transportation on HB 4360 before the Michigan House of Representatives, Committee on Transportation (“HB 4360 provides an avenue to allow the pupil transportation industry in Michigan to widen job opportunities to job seeking individuals with diabetes.... HB 4360 makes a complimentary amendment to the Motor Carrier Safety Act to allow waivers by the Michigan State Police and the Motor Carrier Safety Appeal Board for [799]*799certain physical or medical qualifications.”) [Defendant’s Ex. 18.]
HB 4360 passed, and on September 27, 2011, an act amending Section 5 of the MMCSA was entered into law and given immediate effect. See 2011 Mich. Legis. Serv., P.A. 156 (H.B. 4360) (West). The amended statute states in relevant part:
Except for the purpose of granting a waiver in accordance with section 53 of the pupil transportation act, 1990 PA 187, MCL 257.1853, this act and the rules promulgated under this act do not apply to a school bus as defined in the pupil transportation act, 1990 PA 187, MCL 257.1801 to 257.1877....
M.C.L. § 480.15(7) (West 2011).2
PLAINTIFF WAS NOT PHYSICALLY QUALIFIED FOR THE BUS DRIVER JOB
Plaintiff Cummings went to the Delta Medical Center on September 2, 2010 for his physical. During the intake process Cummings indicated that he was an insulin dependent diabetic. See Defendant’s Ex. 6. The doctor who was on duty that day, Dr. Kizinger, apparently was not aware of the changes that had been made to the PTA and he gave Cummings one of the obsolete “Physician Survey” forms to be completed by his primary care physician. See Defendant’s Ex. 7. Cummings emailed the form back to Delta on September 3, 2010.
Shortly thereafter, Dean’s Human Resources Department learned that Cummings was an insulin-dependent diabetic, and, therefore, informed Mr. Pellerito that he could not hire Plaintiff. [Pellerito
Decl., p. 2; Troy Scott Deck, p. 2] When Pellerito learned of this, hoping that a second physical would “fix the problem,” he arranged for a second physical at the Concentra Medical Center. [Pellerito Deck, p. 2.]3
On September 8, 2010, Cummings went to the Concentra Medical Center for a second physical. During the intake process, he again reported that he was an insulin dependent diabetic. See Defendant’s Ex. 8. The doctor who conducted the physical, Dr. Galus, was familiar with the June 2010 changes in the law, but he did not notice that Cummings had checked the insulin-dependent box on the medical history form. Therefore, finding Cummings to be otherwise in good health, Dr. Galus issued him a medical certificate. Galus Dep., p. 20. When his mistake was brought to his attention, Dr. Galus contacted both Dean and Cummings and informed them that the medical certificate was “can-celled” and “not valid.” See Exhibits 9-10; Galus Dep., p. 38.
On September 13, 2010, Cummings spoke with Mr. Pellerito regarding the possibility of obtaining a “waiver” of the diabetes disqualification from the Appeal Board. Pellerito Deck, p. 3. Mr. Pellerito has a diabetic brother-in-law, who is an “intrastate” truck driver who had obtained such a waiver. Id. This caused Pellerito to question why Cummings could not obtain a waiver, as well. Id.
Pellerito, therefore, contacted the Michigan State Police. Id. Inspector Randy Coplin of the State Police advised Pellerito that a waiver was available for an intra[800]*800state truck driver but was not available for a school bus driver. Id. Pellerito then conveyed the information to Cummings, id., and the job offer Pellerito had made to Cummings on behalf of Dean was officially withdrawn.
With respect to whether a “waiver” was available, Plaintiff claims that he received information from Inspector Coplin that was different than the information provided by Scott Pellerito. See Complaint ¶¶ 17-19. According to Cummings, after Pellerito told him what Inspector Coplin had said, he called Coplin himself. Id. He contends that the Inspector informed him that there was no prohibition against hiring him because he is a diabetic; Coplin even sent him the forms required when requesting a medical waiver. Id. at ¶ 18.
In his deposition, however, Cummings admitted that his discussions with Inspector Coplin were in reference to “truck drivers,” not “school bus drivers.” Cummings did not disclose to Coplin the fact that he was applying for a position that would require him to drive a “school bus.” Cummings Dep., pp. 212-13. Inspector Coplin never told Cummings that “the waiver process was available to persons who were applying for a job that would require them to drive a school bus,” as opposed to a job that would require them to drive a semi-truck. Id. at 213. Based on what Inspector Coplin said, it was Cummings’ understanding that “the waiver application process applied to people who were applying for jobs that would require them to drive semi-trucks,” as opposed to persons who were applying to drive a school bus. Id. at p. 214.
THE PERSON HIRED FOR THE JOB
After withdrawing the job offer made to Cummings, Dean hired Michael Johnson for the Lead Mechanic position at Crest-wood. See Michael Johnson Deck, p 1. Mr. Johnson has been trained to drive school buses, and possesses a CDL, with an S and P endorsement. Id. at p. 1. He also possess a current “Medical Examiner’s Certificate,” verifying that he meets all physical qualifications to be a bus driver. Id.
In the course of his mechanic’s duties with Crestwood, Mr. Johnson has been regularly required to drive school buses for road testing and other purposes. Id. at p. 2. Due to a temporary “driver shortage” this past school year, Mr. Johnson also drove a school bus with children on board. Id. Plaintiff does not dispute that mechanics are required to drive vehicles for purposes of “testing the repair work or maintenance work” and “for purposes of trouble shooting.” (Cummings Dep., p. 33.) He testified that he would “expect that a mechanic, who has made a repair to the brakes of a commercial vehicle, would road test that vehicle before returning it to service.” Id. In his experience, “mechanics are sometimes required to pick up disabled vehicles and drive them back to the shop” and are sometimes “required to deliver vehicles to other locations” after they have been “repaired.” Id. at 33-34.
III. DISCUSSION
A. APPLICABLE STANDARDS
Summary judgment is proper if the moving party “shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(a). As the Supreme Court has explained, “the plain language of Rule 56[ ] mandates the entry of summary judgment, after adequate time for discovery and upon motion, against a party who fails to make a showing sufficient to establish the existence of an element essential to that party’s case, and on which that party will bear the burden of proof at trial.” Celotex Corp. v. [801]*801Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322, 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552, 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986).
In deciding a motion brought under Rule 56, the Court must view the evidence in a light most favorable to the rionmoving party. Pack v. Damon Corp., 434 F.3d 810, 813 (6th Cir.2006). Yet, the nonmov-ing party may not rely on mere allegations or denials, but must “cit[e] to particular parts of materials in the record” as establishing that one or more material facts are “genuinely disputed.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)(1). Moreover, any supporting or opposing affidavits or declarations “must be made on personal knowledge, set out facts that would be admissible in evidencé, and show that the affiant or declarant is competent to testify on the matters stated.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c)(4). Finally, “the mere existence of a scintilla of evidence that supports the nonmoving party’s claims is insufficient to defeat summary judgment.” Pack, 434 F.3d at 814 (alteration, internal quotation marks, and citation omitted). The Court will apply the foregoing standards in deciding the parties’ motions for summary judgment in this case.
B. PLAINTIFF HAS FAILED TO MAKE OUT A LEGALLY COGNIZABLE CLAIM OF DISCRIMINATION UNDER THE ADA
In this lawsuit, Plaintiff claims that by refusing to hire him, and refusing to provide him a reasonable accommodation during the hiring process, Dean violated his rights under both the ADA and the PWDCRA. Complaint, ¶¶ 29, 38.
Under the ADA, “[n]o covered entity shall discriminate against a qualified individual with a disability because of the disability of such individual in regard to job application procedures, the hiring, advancement, or discharge of employees, employee compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment.” 42 U.S.C. § 12112(a). The ADA definition of the term “discriminate” includes “not making reasonable accommodations to the known physical or mental limitations of an otherwise qualified individual with a disability who is an applicant or an employee, unless such covered entity can demonstrate that the accommodation would impose an undue hardship on the operation of the business of the covered entity.” Id. at § 12112(b)(5).
To make out a claim of discrimination under the ADA, Plaintiff bears the initial burden of showing that he is disabled and “otherwise qualified” for the position, either without accommodation from the employer, with an alleged essential job requirement eliminated, or with a proposed reasonable accommodation. Kleiber v. Honda of Am. Mfg., Inc., 485 F.3d 862, 869 (6th Cir.2007). Once the plaintiff establishes a prima facie case, the burden shifts to the employer to show that the “challenged job criterion is essential” or that the “proposed accommodation will impose an undue hardship upon the employer.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted).
Defendant Dean has not disputed that Plaintiff Cummings is disabled; rather Dean argues that Cummings cannot show that he was “otherwise qualified” for the mechanic’s position for which he applied.
In order to be “otherwise qualified” for a job, the individual must satisfy the requisite skill, experience, education and other job-related requirements of the employment position such individual holds or desires and-, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the-essential functions of such position. See 42 U.S.C. § 12111(8); , 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(m). Whether an individual meets the definition of a qualified individual with a disability is to be determined at the time the employ[802]*802ment decision was made. Thoms v. A.B.F. Freight Sys., Inc., 31 F.Supp.2d 1119, 1124 (E.D.Wisc.1998); 29 C.F.R. § 1630, app. § 1630.2(m).
“Essential functions” are “the fundamental job duties of the employment position,” but do “not include the marginal functions of the position.” 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(n)(l). Whether a particular job function is essential is evaluated on a case-by-case basis by examining a number of factors. Holly v. Clairson Industries, L.L.C., 492 F.3d 1247, 1258 (11th Cir.2007). Among the relevant factors is “[t]he employer’s judgment as to which functions are essential.” 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(n)(3)(i). The employer’s judgment is entitled to substantial weight in the calculus. Id.; see also Knutson v. Schwan’s Home Serv., Inc., 711 F.3d 911, 914 (8th Cir.2012) (“The employer’s judgment about an essential job function ‘is considered highly probative.’ ” (Citation omitted).) Other relevant factors include a written job description prepared before advertising or interviewing applicants for the job; the amount of time spent on the job performing the function; the consequences of not requiring the employee to perform the function; the work experience of past incumbents; and the current work experience of employees in similar jobs. Keith v. Cnty. of Oakland, 703 F.3d 918, 925-26 (6th Cir.2013); see generally 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(n)(3).
Further, compliance with DOT safety regulations is an essential function of the job for a commercial driver. King v. Mrs. Grissoms Salads, Inc., 1999 WL 552512 (6th Cir.1999); see also Prado v. Continental Air Transp. Co., 982 F.Supp. 1304, 1308 (N.D.Ill.1997) (holding that because the plaintiff lacked a medical certification, he was never qualified for the shuttle bus driver position). See also Bay v. Cassens Transport Co., 212 F.3d 969, 974 (7th Cir.2000) (“Under applicable DOT regulations, [the defendant] was not allowed to permit [the plaintiff] to resume driving until he produced a copy of a doctor’s certificate indicating he was physically qualified to drive, ... and nothing in the ADA purports to change that obligation.”); Myers v. Hose, 50 F.3d 278, 282-85 (4th Cir.1995) (holding that a diabetic bus driver subject who failed a DOT medical examination was unable to perform the job’s essential functions); Chandler v. City of Dallas, 2 F.3d 1385, 1394-96 (5th Cir.1993) (holding, based on DOT regulations, that diabetic bus drivers and visually impaired bus drivers were not qualified for the job). Thompson v. Heiner’s Bakery, 2012 WL 1835709 at *3 (W.D.Va.2012) (truck driver with heart condition who failed a DOT physical not able to perform essential function of job and there was “no accommodation, reasonable or otherwise, [defendant] can offer [plaintiff] that would enable him in that endeavor—the DOT regulations flatly prevent it.”)
An individual who cannot perform the essential functions of a job is not qualified, and in such cases, the ADA does not come into play. Dietelbach v. Ohio Edison Co., 1 Fed.Appx. 435, 436-37 (6th Cir.2001).
In this case, Plaintiff was applying for a “mechanic” position, but he was required to drive school buses as a regular part of his job. This is evident not only from the application and the job description, but also is evident in Dean’s customer contracts and the actual practices at Dean. Indeed, even Plaintiff himself admits that driving the vehicles worked on is a regular part of a mechanic’s job. To be able to drive a bus required that Plaintiff qualify for and obtain a CDL with the necessary endorsements. The need for a CDL with the requisite endorsements is also evident [803]*803in the job application, job description and customer contracts.
Where a plaintiff seeking a commercial driving position cannot obtain the required DOT certifications he is not an “otherwise qualified” individual for purposes of the ADA. See Bay v. Cassens Transp. Co., 212 F.3d 969 (7th Cir.2000); Graham v. Connie’s, Inc., 173 F.3d 860, 1999 WL 173633 (9th Cir.1999) (plaintiff not qualified as a commercial driver due to the fact that he was insulin-dependent and could not obtain a CDL); Ortiz v. Elgin Sweeping Serv., Inc., 2011 WL 1930693 (N.D.Ill.2011) (ADA claim by highway sweeper operator who was discharged because his newly diagnosed diabetes prevented renewal of CDL required for DOT certification was not a qualified individual at the time of his discharge due to his inability to hold a license); Christopher v. Laidlaw Transit, Inc., 899 F.Supp. 1224 (S.D.N.Y.1995) (insulin-dependent diabetic disqualified from employment as school bus driver).
Plaintiff does not dispute that being able to obtain the appropriate licenses may be an essential function of a commercial driving position nor does he dispute that an individual who cannot perform the essential functions of a job is not a qualified individual for purposes of the ADA. However, Plaintiff argues that Defendant’s withdrawal of its offer of employment due to his inability to qualify for a CDL was not lawful because being able to drive a school bus is not an essential function of a bus mechanic. This sáme argument was made by the plaintiff in Murphy v. United Parcel Serv., 946 F.Supp. 872 (D.Kan.1996), aff'd, 141 F.3d 1185 (10th Cir.1998), aff'd, 527 U.S. 516, 119 S.Ct. 2133, 144 L.Ed.2d 484 (1999).
In Murphy, the plaintiff was working for UPS as a mechanic. The UPS job description for a mechanic stated that “essential functions include a commercial driver’s license, meeting. DOT regulations and operating a standard transmission.” 946 F.Supp. at 875. During the course of his employment, Murphy took a physical for his DOT certification. Id. Despite having high- blood pressure, Murphy was issued a DOT health card by the testing clinic. Id. Based on his high blood pressure, Murphy should have been disqualified and pot issued a DOT health card. A month later, while reviewing medical records, the UPS medical supervisor discovered that Murphy’s blood pressure was above the DOT standard and that the DOT héalth card had been issued “in error.” Id. Two weeks later, Murphy’s blood pressure was tested again but it was still above the DOT standard.' Id. Consequently, UPS terminated his employment.
Murphy sued, claiming, among other things, that “driving trucks” was not an “essential function” of his job as a mechanic, and, therefore, his employer was not entitled to terminate his employment based on his inability to obtain DOT certification. The court rejected Murphy’s argument, out of hand, stating:
The court is satisfied that no. rational fact finder could conclude that driving the vehicles in both road tests or road calls was not an essential function of the mechanic’s job at UPS. It takes no stretch of the imagination to believe that a mechanic would be expected to check on the efficacy of his repairs. One would generally expect a mechanic who has made repairs to the brakes of a commercial vehicle would road test his work before returning the vehicle to the UPS delivery fleet. Similarly, delivering, working, and retrieving disabled vehicles dos not strike the court as an aberrant expectation of an employer such as UPS.
Id. at 882-83.
Murphy argued in the alternative that (1) UPS could just assign the essential [804]*804function of driving to another employee or (2) have allowed him to continue driving on the erroneously issued DOT certification. The court rejected those arguments as well:
As to [plaintiffs] suggestion that the essential function of driving the commercial vehicle should have been assigned to another employee, the ADA does not impose that obligation on employers.
* * *
Acceptance of [plaintiffs] alternative argument—that UPS should have simply allowed him to continue driving on the erroneously issued DOT certification— would set a dangerous precedent. Once UPS learned that [plaintiffs] DOT certification had been issued in error it could not simply overlook that fact. Placing an uncertified person behind the wheel of one of its vehicles would have potentially exposed UPS to civil and criminal liability.... The ADA does not require an employer to accommodate a person’s disability by ignoring other duties imposed by law. Nor has [plaintiff] refuted UPS’s contention that there are no provisions for obtaining a waiver of the DOT blood pressure standards.
Id. at 883.
The foregoing demonstrates that Plaintiff in this case cannot make out a claim of discrimination under the ADA. It is an essential function of the school bus mechanic’s position Plaintiff sought to be able to legally drive a school bus so that he would be able to road test, move buses, conduct on-site repairs, and be able to drive school buses on a substitute basis. When Plaintiff applied for the mechanic’s job at Dean, applicable Michigan law prohibited insulin-dependent diabetics from obtaining the medical clearance to drive school buses and, as a result, Plaintiff was disqualified for the job. Although the law has now changed such that an insulin-dependent diabetic is now able to obtain a “waiver,” Plaintiffs qualifications must be determined at the time he applied for the job. See 29 C.F.R. 1630 app., § 1630.2(m); Thoms v. A.B.F. Freight Sys., supra.
When Plaintiff went to the Concen-tra clinic on September 8, 2010, the doctor issued a medical examiner’s certificate by mistake. Once Dean learned that Plaintiffs DOT certification had been issued in error, “it could not simply overlook that fact.” Murphy, 946 F.Supp. at 883. Placing an uncertified person behind the wheel of one of its vehicles would have exposed Dean to both “civil and criminal liability.” Id. “The ADA does not require an employer to accommodate a person’s disability by ignoring other duties imposed by law.” Id.
For the foregoing reasons, Defendant’s motion for summary judgment will be granted on Plaintiffs ADA discrimination claim in Count I of his Complaint, and Plaintiffs cross-motion will be denied.
C. PLAINTIFF HAS MADE NO ARGUMENT IN OPPOSITION TO DEFENDANT’S REQUEST FOR ENTRY OF SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON HIS PWDCRA CLAIM
To establish a prima facie case of discrimination under the PWDCRA, a plaintiff must establish: 1) that he is disabled as defined by the PWDCRA; 2) that the disability is unrelated to his ability to perform the duties of her particular job; and 3) that he was discriminated against in one of the ways described in the statute. Peden v. City of Detroit, 470 Mich. 195, 204, 680 N.W.2d 857 (2004).
The ADA and PWDCRA “substantially mirror” each other. Donald v. Sybra, Inc., 667 F.3d 757, 764 (6th Cir.2012). Therefore, “claims under both stat[805]*805utes are generally analyzed identically.” Steward v. New Chrysler, 415 Fed.Appx. 632, 641 (6th Cir.2011). For the reasons stated above in section III.B of this Opinion with respect to Plaintiff’s ADA claim, Plaintiff Cummings cannot make out a pri-ma facie case under the PWDCRA. Michigan courts, like the federal courts, have held that where a driver-employee does not meet federal medical qualifications to drive a commercial vehicle due to a disqualifying medical condition, he is not able to make out a prima facie case for discrimination under the PWDCRA. See, e.g., Cunningham v. USF Holland, Inc., 2013 WL 1748563, at *5 (Mich.Ct.App. April 23, 2013); Dep’t of Civil Rights ex rel. Lanphar v. A & C Carriers, 157 Mich.App. 534, 543, 403 N.W.2d 586, 590 (1987) (same); Daily v. Martin Trans. Sys., Inc., 2013 WL 5442750 (W.D.Mich.2013) (applying Michigan law). Plaintiff has made no separate argument in support of his PWDCRA claim. Therefore, for the reasons stated above, summary judgment will be entered in favor of Defendant and against Plaintiff on Count II of Plaintiffs Complaint.
CONCLUSION
For all of the reasons set forth in this Opinion and Order,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment [Dkt. # 7] is GRANTED, and Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment [Dkt. # 11] is DENIED. Accordingly,
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs Complaint be DISMISSED in its entirety, with prejudice.
Let Judgment be entered accordingly,
JUDGMENT
The Court having this date entered an Opinion and Order granting Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment and denying Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises,
NOW, THEREFORE,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that a JUDGMENT OF DISMISSAL, WITH PREJUDICE, be, and hereby is, entered.
