Appeal from the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Alabama
_________________________
(October 25, 2005)
Before ANDERSON, BLACK and CARNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
After oral argument and careful consideration, we affirm. We affirm the
judgment of the district court with respect to plaintiff’s disability claim, because
plaintiff failed to prove that he could perform the essential functions of the job, or
that his health problems could be reasonably accommodated. See Jackson v.
Veterans Administration,
22 F.3d 277 (11th Cir. 1994). We also affirm with respect
to plaintiff’s age claim; there is little or no evidence of age discrimination and
plaintiff’s alleged comparator is not similarly situated. Finally, we affirm the
judgment of the district court with respect to plaintiff’s retaliation claim; plaintiff
has failed to prove either causation or pretext to overcome the defendant’s
legitimate business reason.
AFFIRMED.
