PER CURIAM.

Rosemary Roux brought claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act

(ADA) against her former employer, Southwestern Bell Yellow Pages (SWBYP).

The district court1

 granted summary judgment to SWBYP, and Ms. Roux appeals.

We affirm.

Upon careful de novo review of the record, we find that Ms. Roux did not

exhaust her administrative remedies with respect to her failure-to-promote claim, and

that her discrimination, failure-to-accommodate, and harassment claims fail because

she is not a qualified individual under the ADA as she could not regularly attend

work. Because Ms. Roux offered no evidence that SWBYP could have

accommodated her disability, any claim that SWBYP failed to participate in the

required interactive process was likewise meritless. As for Ms. Roux’s retaliation

claim, the district court properly granted summary judgment, because the record does

not show that SWBYP took any adverse employment action against Ms. Roux.

Finally, Ms. Roux lacked standing to raise her claim that SWBYP harassed her

physicians, and her remaining claims were not timely raised to the district court.

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny the pending

motions on appeal.
