PER CURIAM:

     Walter L. Childress appeals the district court’s order grant-

ing Appalachian Power Company’s motion for summary judgment in his

claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act.   We have reviewed

the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible

error.   Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district

court.   See Childress v. Appalachian Power Co., No. CA-94-46-L

(W.D. Va. Jan. 13, 2000).   We deny Childress’ motion for appoint-

ment of counsel, and dispense with oral argument because the facts

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials

before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
