PER CURIAM.

Gerald Egan appeals the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment dismissing his claim that the University of Nebraska at Lincoln violated the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101 et seq., when it refused to hire him for a live-in student residence hall position on account of his mental condition.
