The Honorable Stephen M. Reasoner, United States District Court Judge for the 1

Eastern District of Arkansas. .

PER CURIAM.

Jo Karen McGuire appeals from the district court&s dismissal of certain claims 1

and the adverse grant of summary judgment as to others in her action alleging, inter

alia, disability discrimination in her termination from the Arkansas State University

nursing program. Upon a thorough review of the record and the parties& submissions

on appeal, we conclude that judgment for the defendants was proper. We also

conclude the district court did not err in denying Ms. McGuire&s request for

appointment of counsel, and we deny her request for counsel on appeal. Accordingly

we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
