UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE TENTH CIRCUIT
PATRICK FISHER
Clerk
ROWANA K. RIGGS,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
v. No. 00-3178
(D.C. No. 99-CV-2090-CM)
THE BOEING COMPANY, (D. Kan.)
Defendant-Appellee.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT *
Before EBEL, KELLY, and LUCERO , Circuit Judges.
After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of
this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is
therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.
Plaintiff Rowana K. Riggs, appearing pro se, appeals the district court’s
grant of summary judgment to defendant, the Boeing Company, on her claim
*
This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the
doctrines of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. The court
generally disfavors the citation of orders and judgments; nevertheless, an order
and judgment may be cited under the terms and conditions of 10th Cir. R. 36.3.
alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C.
§§ 12101-12213. The parties are familiar with the facts and the procedural
history of this case, and we will not repeat them here. On appeal, Ms. Riggs
claims the district court erred in finding that her mild carpal tunnel syndrome did
not rise to the level of a “disability” under the ADA and in failing to consider all
of her claims and evidence.
We review the grant of summary judgment de novo , applying the same
standard as the district court. Simms v. Oklahoma ex rel. Dep't of Mental Health
& Substance Abuse Servs. , 165 F.3d 1321, 1326 (10th Cir. ), cert. denied , 528
U.S. 815 (1999). Summary judgment is appropriate “if the pleadings, depositions,
answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file, together with the affidavits, if
any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the
moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c).
As required, “we view the evidence and draw reasonable inferences therefrom in
the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.” Simms , 165 F.3d at 1326.
Having carefully reviewed the record in that light, we find no error, and we affirm
for substantially the reasons given by the district court in its Memorandum and
Order dated May 19, 2000.
