Cosby said the only problems he had in more than 13 years at AutoZone are traceable to 2005 and early 2006, when he was seriously ill and missed a lot of work. He eventually was diagnosed with narcolepsy, a sleep disorder. . . . .
Earlier this month, a federal jury in Sacramento awarded Cosby $1.5 million in damages after finding that AutoZone would not make reasonable accommodations for his illness and had violated California's Fair Employment and Housing Act.
