Before BOWMAN, FAGG, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM.

After Central Kansas City Mental Health Services terminated Lee Autry Robinson’s employment as a substance abuse counselor, Robinson brought this action against the various defendants, alleging his discharge violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101-12213 (1994 & Supp. III 1997); the Family Medical Leave Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 2601-2654 (1994 & Supp. III 1997); and Robinson’s constitutional rights to equal protection and due process. The district court granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment, and Robinson appeals. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ briefs, we conclude an extended discussion is not warranted and affirm for the reasons set out in the district court’s opinion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
