Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Eddie Wyatt appeals the District Court's adverse grant of summary judgment in his action alleging that J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc., terminated him as a commercial truck driver in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. § 12101-12213, and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations, 49 C.F.R. § 382.121. After careful de novo review, we find no error in the district court's grant of summary judgment. Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d 1108, 1112 (8th Cir.2006) (standard of review); 49 C.F.R. § 391.41(b)(13) ("A person is physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle if that person . [h]as no current clinical diagnosis of alcoholism."); Huber v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 486 F.3d 480, 482 (8th Cir.2007) (noting that to make a prima facie case in a reasonable-accommodation claim under the ADA, a plaintiff must show, inter alia, that he is a qualified individual); Williams v. United Parcel Serv., Inc., 527 F.3d 1135, 1137 (10th Cir. 2008) (noting that DOT regulations requiring drug and alcohol testing for safety-sensitive positions in transportation industries do not provide for a "private cause of action . to aggrieved employees for a violation of the procedural protections"). Accordingly, we affirm.
. The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
