Barbara Kehr appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in her disability-discrimination action. After careful de novo review, see Murphy v. Mo. Dep’t of Corr., 372 F.3d 979, 982 (8th Cir. 2004), this court affirms. Kehr was not a qualified individual because she admitted she could not perform the essential functions of her job, see Wisbey v. City of Lincoln, Neb., 612 F.3d 667, 672-73 (8th 1 The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska. Appellate Case: 10-3849 Page: 1 Date Filed: 09/08/2011 Entry ID: 3826569 Cir. 2010). Kehr’s pretext argument fails because she failed to present a prima facie case of discrimination. This court affirms. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ -2- Appellate Case: 10-3849 Page: 2 Date Filed: 09/08/2011 Entry ID: 3826569
