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.

Opinion:
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.
