in favor of her former employer and the manager of her office. Having reviewed the

The Honorable Gary A. Fenner, United States District Judge for the Western
District of Missouri.
record de novo and the parties’ briefs, we affirm the judgment with regard to Ms.
Rukavina’s disability discrimination claim because she failed to offer sufficient
evidence to create a factual dispute whether she was a “qualified” individual--i.e.,
whether she could perform the essential duties of her position with or without
reasonable accommodation. See Hennenfent v. Mid Dakota Clinic, P.C., No. 98-1992,
1998 WL 901709 (8th Cir. Dec. 29, 1998). As to Ms. Rukavina’s other claims, we
affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
