Falso claims, inter 15 alia, employment discrimination and a hostile work 16 environment violative of the Americans with Disabilities Act 17 (“ADA”), 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. In the order relevant to 18 this appeal, the district court dismissed Falso’s claims, 19 directing summary judgment for the defendants. We otherwise 20 assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts, 21 the case’s procedural history, and the issues on appeal. 22 The grant of summary judgment is reviewed de novo. 23 E.g. Miller v. Wolpoff & Abramson, L.L.P., 321 F.3d 292, 300 24 (2d Cir. 2003). Summary judgment is appropriate where, 25 drawing “all factual inferences . . . in favor of the 26 non-moving party[,] . . . there are no genuine issues of 27 material fact and . . . the moving party is entitled to 28 judgment as a matter of law.” Id. (citation omitted). On 29 review, we find no error, and affirm for substantially the 30 reasons stated by the district court in its summary judgment 31 order. 32 We have considered Falso’s remaining arguments and find 33 them to be without merit. The district court’s judgment is 34 accordingly AFFIRMED. 35 36 FOR THE COURT: 37 CATHERINE O’HAGAN WOLFE, CLERK 38 2
