2003The cadet is required to complete this test within 5 minutes and 5 seconds. 6 Plaintiff disputes these requirements, arguing that the determination of an essential job function is “a highly fact-specific inquiry ....” (Cripe v. City of San Jose (9th Cir. 2001) 261 F.3d 877, 888, fn. 12 .) Although the essential functions of a job are a question of fact, plaintiff has failed to present any relevant facts that dispute the CDC’s evidence on this issue and therefore has failed to raise a triable issue of fact on the question.
