Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Appellant Pacheco failed to establish a prima facie case that he was discriminated against under the "record of' prong, 42 U.S.C. § 12102(2), because the hiring decision was based on Pacheco's present condition as Dr. Young saw it, not his medical record. See 42 U.S.C. § 12112(a) (prohibiting discrimination "against a qualified individual with a disability because of the disability") (emphasis added).
AFFIRMED.
