Opinion

PER CURIAM.*

*1 Linda Piper, a former employee of Kimberly-Clark Corporation (“KCC”) appeals the district court’s summary-judgment dismissal of her lawsuit, alleging that she had been discriminatorily discharged because she was disabled and because she had filed a worker’s compensation claim, in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) and Texas law. She contends that the district court erred in determining that she had failed to present qualifying summary-judgment evidence that she was disabled withing the meaning of the ADA and failed to demonstrate a factual dispute regarding KCC’s nondiscriminatory motive for her discharge.

We have carefully reviewed the briefs, the record excerpts, and the summary-judgment record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the same reasons stated by the district court.

AFFIRMED.
