PER CURIAM.

George Lemm appeals from the district court’s1

 adverse grant of summary

judgment in his lawsuit against his former employer, Omni Engineering, brought

under the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq., and Title VII

of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.

Having conducted a de novo review of the record, see Kratzer v. Rockwell

Collins, Inc., 398 F.3d 1040, 1043 (8th Cir. 2005), we agree with the district court’s

conclusion that Lemm is not actually disabled because he is not limited in a major life

activity, see Nuzum v. Ozark Auto. Distribs., Inc., 432 F.3d 839, 843-48 (8th Cir.

2005), and that Omni Engineering neither regarded Lemm as being disabled, see

Christensen v. Titan Distrib., Inc., 481 F.3d 1085, 1093 (8th Cir. 2007), nor had a

record which misclassified Lemm’s impairment as a disability, see Taylor v.

Nimock’s Oil Co., 214 F.3d 957, 961 (8th Cir. 2000). Because Lemm has not met the

first element of a prima facie case under the ADA, we do not address the issue of

whether Omni Engineering should have reasonably accommodated him. 

Accordingly, we affirm the well-reasoned opinion of the district court. See 8th

Cir. R. 47B.
