Heading: ADA Claim - Union

Text: We also agree with the district court’s conclusion that Ms. Revels’s claims against the Union fail. The district court noted that Ms. Revels was unclear as to what she was alleging: “When asked whether it was her position that the union did not discriminate against her because it regarded her as disabled, the plaintiff replied: ‘I have never mentioned discrimination.’” Aples’ Br. Addendum at 15 -12- (Dist. Ct. Order, filed May 6, 2002). On appeal, Ms. Revels notes that she was largely dependent upon her counsel at the time, that discovery was not yet complete, that she hoped for a jury trial, and that she lacked “clarity” after a “very tedious” deposition. Aplt’s Br. at 22-23. “Despite the liberal construction afforded pro se pleadings, the court will not construct arguments or theories for the plaintiff in the absence of any discussion of those issues.” Drake v. City of Fort Collins, 927 F.2d 1156, 1159 (10th Cir. 1991) (citation omitted). Ms. Revels’s ADA claim against the Union suffers from the identical deficiencies as her claim against Lucent, and was properly dismissed.
