OPINION

In the year 2000, at age 73, the plaintiff applied for employment as a police officer for the City of Philadelphia but did not successfully complete the training program. He had previously been a police officer for the City, but left his position in 1953. In the years following his departure from the Philadelphia Police Department, plaintiff worked in various law enforcement capacities.

After he had filed an age discrimination complaint against the City with the EEOC in 2001, plaintiff was admitted to the Philadelphia Police Academy for a ten-month training period. He did not pass the required low-level light firearms test nor did he complete the running test in the prescribed time. As a consequence, he did not graduate from the Academy and was not hired as a police officer.

Plaintiff filed suit in the District Court alleging violation of the ADEA, 29 U.S.C. § 626(b), and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, 43 Pa. Stat. §§ 951-963. The District Court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants and denied plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration.

In this appeal, plaintiff contends that the District Court erred in:

1. Granting summary judgment on “pre-academy” claims, the subject of the plaintiffs first EEOC complaint.

2. Failing to fault the City for not granting a waiver of training.

*464 3. Failing to acknowledge that plaintiff was discriminatorily discharged from the Academy.

4. Granting summary judgment under the PHRA despite a pretrial severance.

5. Granting summary judgment in the claims of harassment and retaliation.

6. Failing to address plaintiffs motions under Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(f).

We have carefully reviewed each of the plaintiffs contentions and find that the claims lack merit. The District Court did not err in granting summary judgment in favor of the defendants or in denying the plaintiffs motion for reconsideration. We agree with the result stated in the District Court’s thorough opinion.

Accordingly, the judgment of the District Court will be affirmed.
