Before FAGG, WOLLMAN, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


     Sharon E. Joelson appeals the district court's adverse grant of
summary judgment in this disability-based employment discrimination action.
Having carefully reviewed the record and the materials submitted by the
parties, we conclude the district court's decision is clearly correct and
the issues do not warrant a comprehensive opinion.       Finding no reversible
error, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court's memorandum
opinion.   See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

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