Submitted: December 13, 1999

Filed: January 10, 2000 ___________

Before MURPHY, JOHN R. GIBSON, and FAGG, Circuit Judges. ___________

PER CURIAM.

Steve Y. Davis appeals from the district court's entry of judgment in favor of Davis's employer following a bench trial on Davis's claim for unlawful termination as librarian at the Iowa State Penitentiary (ISP) in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). On appeal, Davis contends the district court erroneously concluded that ISP did not perceive Davis as disabled within ADA. We disagree. Having reviewed the record and the parties' submissions, we conclude that an extensive discussion is not warranted in this fact-intensive case. We are satisfied the district court's fact-findings are not clearly erroneous and the district court correctly applied the controlling law. Having concluded the decision of the district court was correct, we affirm on the basis of the district court's well-reasoned opinion and order without further discussion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

JOHN R. GIBSON, Circuit Judge, concurs in the result and in the judgment in this case.
