PER CURIAM.

      Kelly Macke appeals the district court's adverse grant of summary judgment
in Macke's disability-based discrimination lawsuit brought under the Americans with
Disabilities Act. The district court concluded Macke was not a qualified individual
with a disability because she failed to establish she could perform the essential
functions of her job as a maintenance of way laborer. Having considered the record
and the parties submissions, we are satisfied the district court committed no error of

      *
       The Honorable James M. Rosenbaum, United States District Judge for the
District of Minnesota, sitting by designation.
law and summary judgment was correctly granted for the reasons stated in the district
court's memorandum and order. Believing that an extended opinion is unnecessary
in this fact-intensive case, we affirm without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
