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
