Appeal from the United States District Court, for the Western District of Texas (EP-97-CV-188-DB) _________________________________________________________________

October 20, 1998

Before KING, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Victor Burciaga challenges the summary judgment dismissing his

claim of disability discrimination in his termination. We review

a summary judgment de novo, applying the same standard as the

district court. E.g., Freeman v. County of Bexar,

(5th Cir. 1998). Such judgment is proper if there is no

material fact issue and the movant is entitled to judgment as a

matter of law. Id.; see FED. R. CIV. P. 56(c). Having reviewed the

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. record and the briefs, we AFFIRM for the reasons stated by the

district court in its comprehensive and well-reasoned opinion, as

amended. See Burciaga v. West, No. EP-97-CA-188-DB (W.D.Tex. March

4, 1998, modified April 1, 1998).

AFFIRMED
