Before KING, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Victor Burciaga challenges the summary judgment dismissing his

claim of disability discrimination in his termination.        We review

a summary judgment de novo, applying the same standard as the

district court.     E.g., Freeman v. County of Bexar, 142 F.3d 848,

district court in its comprehensive and well-reasoned opinion, as

4, 1998, modified April 1, 1998).

                                                      AFFIRMED
