Barbara KEHR, Appellant, v. PRINCIPAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, Appellee.
    No. 10-3849.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: Sept. 7, 2011.
    Filed: Sept. 8, 2011.
    
      Eric B. Brown, Atwood & Associates, Lincoln, NE, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
    Kathryn E. Jones, Marcia A. Washkuhn, Kutak & Rock, Omaha, NE, for Defendant-Appellee.
    Before MURPHY, ARNOLD, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Barbara Kehr appeals the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in her disability-discrimination action. After careful de novo review, see Murphy v. Mo. Dep’t of Corr., 372 F.3d 979, 982 (8th Cir.2004), this court affirms. Kehr was not a qualified individual because she admitted she could not perform the essential functions of her job, see Wisbey v. City of Lincoln, Neb., 612 F.3d 667, 672-73 (8th Cir.2010). Kehr’s pretext argument fails because she failed to present a prima facie case of discrimination.

This court affirms. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District of Nebraska.
