   MEMORANDUM

Consandra Amerson, a former employee of Clark County, appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the County on her Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) claim. See 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101-12213. We agree with the district court that Amerson was judicially estopped from challenging the County’s failure to reassign her given her earlier stipulation in a disability benefits settlement stating that her physical restrictions could not be accommodated by her employer. See Cleveland v. Policy Mgmt. Sys. Corp., 526 U.S. 795, 806, 119 S.Ct. 1597, 143 L.Ed.2d 966 (1999).

We also agree with the district court that Amerson was not a qualified individual under the ADA. See Smith v. Clark Cty. Sch. Dist., 727 F.3d 950, 955 (9th Cir.2013). The County engaged in multiple efforts to find an alternative available position for which Amerson was qualified in light of her restrictions, and Amerson was not able to point to any evidence that the C.ounty had available positions to which it could have reassigned her. See Wellington v. Lyon Cty. Sch., 187 F.3d 1150, 1155 (9th Cir.1999). Finally, Amerson has failed to show that she was constructively discharged from her employment with the County. See Brooks v. City of San Mateo, 229 F.3d 917, 930 (9th Cir.2000).

AFFIRMED.
